Can you be allergic to long-haired dogs but not short-haired dogs?

Answer #1

You may have heard that some dog breeds trigger allergy symptoms while others don’t, or that short-haired dogs are safe while long-haired dogs prone to shedding are not. But on the whole, experts say that isn’t the case. In fact, one dog and another of the same breed can give off very different levels of allergen.

It’s not the dog’s hair or fur that’s the real problem. Instead, people are usually allergic to the dander – flakes of dead skin – as well as the saliva and urine. So no matter how long or short the hair, any dog can potentially cause an allergic reaction.
