Are Norwegian Lundehunds hypoallergenic?

No, Norwegian Lundehunds are not hypoallergenic. Like most dogs, they shed dander (tiny skin flakes) and produce proteins in their saliva and urine that can trigger allergies in affected individuals.

Regular grooming, including brushing their coat to reduce loose hair and dander, can make a difference in managing allergens in the home. Bathing them every few weeks also helps to reduce the spread of allergens. Additionally, vacuuming your home often, using an air purifier, and keeping certain areas of the house (like bedrooms) pet-free zones can help minimize allergen buildup. Washing bedding and any fabric-covered furniture routinely can also cut down on the spread of allergens.
