Are long-haired Chihuahuas hypoallergenic?

Long-haired Chihuahuas are not hypoallergenic , though they are a better option for people with mild allergies than short-haired Chihuahuas. Although they shed less than many other breeds, they still produce dander, which is a dog’s main allergen. Their longer coats can trap more dander, so regular grooming and brushing are important to manage it.

Even though Chihuahuas don’t shed as much as some other breeds, no dog is truly hypoallergenic. If you have allergies, spending time with a long-haired Chihuahua before committing to adopt them can help determine if they’re a good fit for your situation.
