==Hypoallergenic== |

It is known for being one of a few varieties of hypoallergenic dogs, although the usage of hypoallergenic is misleading. "No dog is non-allergenic", says Bruce Bochner, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Asthma & Allergy Center and professor of medicine at the [[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine|Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine]]. "I am aware of no hypoallergenic status that can be attributed to any dog, no matter what the breed,” says Ralph Richardson, DVM, of [[Kansas State University]]’s College of Veterinary Medicine. "Some breeds have more [[dander]] than others, but someone who is allergic to dogs is allergic to dogs,” says Linda Boyer, executive director of the [[Baltimore]]-based [[Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America]]. |

Description
This dog may range in height from 6-9 inches and may weigh between 4 and 14 pounds.[1] These dogs may be bred from two purebred parents or two hybrid parents. They tend to have a smooth coat of silky and wavy hair, and can come in a variety of colors, including gold, blue, white, and parti-color. Depending on which parent's genes are more dominant, the dog may be hypoallergenic and thus be more suited to homes with allergy sufferers.[1]
