13 Best Hypoallergenic Poodle Mixes | Guide to Dog Breeds

These are the best poodle mixes for people dealing with allergies. While we love a purebred poodle, there are several popular dog breeds that offer no or low shedding and are allergy-friendly.

While you can look for a reputable breeder for one of these poodle mix dogs, we’ve been able to find multiple “designer dogs” at shelters. Either way you go, any hypoallergenic breed will become like family member!

What Makes the Poodle a Hypoallergenic Dog?

People tend to have an allergic reaction to a dog’s dander from their hair. While poodles aren’t 100% hypoallergenic, they are considered to be because they rarely shed and little to no dander gets into the air to trigger someone’s allergies.

13 Best Poodle Mixes for Allergies

They say that dog is a man’s best friend. But that’s only true for people who don’t have allergies, right? Not quite.

With these amazing mixed breeds, you can enjoy the love of a dog without all those negative reactions that often come when you have allergies. If you’re looking for a hypoallergenic dog breed, these are the best poodle mixes for anyone with allergies.

Goldendoodle

This adorable dog breed is one of the most popular poodle mixes for people with allergies. The Goldendoodle, or also nicknamed doodle dogs, is the combination of two popular breeds –  a Standard Poodle and a Golden Retriever.

This breed features a fluffy, slightly curly coat. But don’t be fooled by its thickness because these dogs don’t shed much, making them perfect for anyone with allergies. 

Labradoodle

Since Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are very similar dogs, it makes sense that Labradoodles are another great option when it comes to hypoallergenic dogs. Both doodle breeds are great pups. 

A Labradoodle has a shorter, straighter coat than a Goldendoodle, but their build and temperament are very similar.

Schnoodle

Since both Schnauzers and Poodles come in three different sizes – miniature, standard, and giant – you have many different options when it comes to finding an adorable Schnoodle for your family. And since both parent breeds are hypoallergenic, this poodle hybrid is a great option for anyone with allergy issues.

Bernedoodle

Another popular poodle mix for anyone looking for a hypoallergenic dog is the Bernedoodle, which is a combination of a poodle and Bernese mountain dog. This large-breed dog has origins in Switzerland and was originally breed to herd cattle, pull carts, and guard properties. While Bernese mountain dogs aren’t hypoallergenic on their own, a Bernese mountain dog poodle mix takes on the coat of the allergy friendly poodle breed, making them a great option for anyone who needs a hypoallergenic companion.

Pomapoo

If you’re looking for a small poodle mix, you’ll love the pomapoo, which is a combination of a toy poodle and Pomeranian. And since both dog breeds are hypoallergenic on their own, this mixed breed is a great option for anyone with allergies. Any pet parent will love their fluffy coat and affectionate attitude.

Shih-Poo

Another adorable (and allergy-friendly) miniature breed to consider is the Shih Poo. Made up of a cross between a Shih Tzu and toy poodle, these tiny dogs make great companions. They’re compact, low-shedding, and very intelligent – a perfect companion for any family.

Because of their small size, they are great for a small apartment or home as well.

Yorkipoo

When you mix a Yorkie with a toy poodle, you have one tiny, adorable dog. And since the Yorkshire Terrier is one of the smallest hypoallergenic dog breeds, the result is the perfect combination for anyone with allergies. And while Yorkipoo are typically bigger than a full-blooded Yorkie, they’re still an adorable companion dog that will fit inside your purse.

Doxiepoo

There’s no end to the number of adorable miniature poodle mixes. So, if you’re on the hunt for a small hypoallergenic dog, you have to look into the Doxiepoo. This mixed breed comes from a cross between a Dachshund and a toy poodle, resulting in an adorable miniature dog that is a great option for a family with allergy issues.

Poochon

When a poodle is bread with a Bichon Frise, the end result is an adorable, fluffy dog with a hypoallergenic coat. A poochon resembles a white poodle and has a fun temperament. This mixed breed is often playful, cheerful, and intelligent.

Shepadoodle

While small dogs are adorable, sometimes you need a companion that also acts as a guard dog. If that’s the case, consider a Shepadoodle. This mix between a poodle and German Shepard make great guard dogs because they’re very intelligent and easy to train. And since the breed is also hypoallergenic, they’re perfect for anyone with sensitivities to pet dander.

Cockapoo

Since a cocker spaniel can be bred with any size of poodle (toy, miniature, or standard), the size of a cockapoo can vary greatly. But the size of the dog doesn’t affect its hypoallergenic nature. When looking for an allergy-friendly cockapoo, find a breed with a curly coat to help reduce the amount of pet dander and the need for excess grooming.

Siberpoo

If you’re searching for a big dog to add to your home, check out the Siberpoo. This large-breed is a mix between a Husky and a poodle. It’s a wolf-like dog with a thick double coat. But it’s important to note that not all mixes are hypoallergenic, so it’s a good idea to check your dog before bringing one home.

Maltipoo

When you breed a poodle with a Maltese, the result is an intelligent and playful dog. And while this mixed breed is often tiny, they’re also fearless, making them great guard dogs, too. This combination is also great for anyone with allergies because both parent dogs are naturally hypoallergenic.

Each poodle mix breed listed above are low-shedders.
