Let’s check out the top 5 best designer hypoallergenic dogs. Not all dogs are created equal. Some dogs produce a lot of dander, which can cause allergies in people with sensitive immune systems. Luckily, there are certain breeds that don’t produce as much dander as others and are considered “hypoallergenic dogs” meaning they’re less likely to trigger allergies in their owners.
#1 Hypoallergenic Dogs: Cavapoo
This adorable mix is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. They’re hypoallergenic dogs, so they’re great for people with allergies. Their coats are low- to non-shedding (unlike other breeds), and they’re generally about 15 pounds in weight. Pretty small for dogs. In addition to being good family dogs, they love cuddling up on the couch or bed with their owners too.

Cockapoo
Your next best bet is a Cockapoo. This dog breed is the result of a cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle, which is known to be hypoallergenic. This means you can expect your new friend to have fewer allergy-inducing dander than other dogs in their category.
Cockapoos are affectionate and loyal, as well as intelligent, trainable, and good with children. All important qualities for any family dog. They’re also quite playful.

Havanese
The Havanese is a small, energetic dog that is known for their affectionate and loyal nature. It has been called “the dog with the human face,” because of their soft expression, soulful eyes, and sweet disposition. Their coat is white with either black or brown points on the ears, tail, and legs (called “socks”).
The Havanese puppy will be happy, clever, and sweet. You should expect him to shed very little as well. He makes an excellent watch dog because he will bark at strangers but usually not at other dogs or your family members (unless they are strangers). Your Havanese will also be good with children.

Maltipoo
If you’re looking for a hypoallergenic dog, the Maltipoo is a good choice. This designer dog is 50% Maltese and 50% Poodle. The result? A small dog with long hair that doesn’t shed much, making it an ideal pet for people who have allergies or asthma.
Maltipoos are intelligent, playful, and energetic pups. This makes them great family pets. They tend to bond closely with their owner(s). In fact, this breed can become depressed when left alone for too long in a crate or kennel environment due to separation anxiety.

Mini Bernedoodle
The Mini Bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. They are active, playful, and affectionate dogs that love to be around people. They make great family pets because they get along well with children and other dogs too. This hypoallergenic dog is also good at making friends with other animals including cats, fish, or birds.
Mini Bernedoodles are not huge dogs but they’re not too small either. Their size is perfect for families with little ones in the house. They weigh anywhere between 20-35 pounds depending on whether they have more Poodle or more Bernese Mountain Dog genes in them. If you want something smaller than your typical German Shepherd but still want something that can protect your home from intruders then look no further than this adorable mini pup.
