Got Allergies? These Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds Are Your New Best Friends

2. Schnauzer

These shed-less pups are great for the owner who loves to be the center of attention — or the kid who loves playing follow-the-leader. The schnauzer loves his owners so much that he won’t let them out of his sight, so expect to have a buddy by your side at all times. He does need a firm hand, though, to balance his stubborn, energetic and protective temper. Schnauzers come in three sizes: standard, giant and miniature.

While you can pick your size, do know that the giant model, as a larger dog, may not live quite as long as smaller ones (though not by much).
