Are Labradors hypoallergenic?
1 Answer

Labrador Retrievers are not "hypoallergenic," because they do shed their coats seasonally. Crossing Labrador Retrievers with Poodles, creating the "Labradoodle" hybrid, seems to create a Labrador-type dog that doesn't shed, or doesn't shed much, and this is one of the factors that has led to the popularity of this crossbreed.
