The American Kennel Club labeled more than 270 dog breeds as hypoallergenic dogs based on their amount of danders forming and shedding. So, it will be right to say that even with the hypoallergenic dog, you can face or experience some itch around your body but in the case of Whoodle, people haven’t face such kind of allergic reaction getting triggered.

A Whoodles is a mix of Poodle and Wheaten Terrier breeds, and both of them tend to shed less. Just by looking at their parents you can easily label them as hypoallergenic dog breed and from our viewpoint, the mix like this one can be the safest option in terms of less prone to allergic reactions.

There are lots of certain features that make Whoodles hypoallergenic dog breeds and allowed them to be an excellent pet for peoples with allergies. Let’s take a quick look over there features.

Low Tendency to Drool

Most of the dogs tend to drool but one of its parents has a tendency to drool less than the other one. So, you may experience that your Whoodles features a low tendency to drool if they inherit most of their traits from the Wheaten Terrier side.

There are plenty of things that can trigger allergies like their danders but one of the factors that decide whether you are going to face any allergic reaction around them is their protein that’s come out from their saliva and urine.

So, a dog that has a low tendency to drool is an advantage for those who are looking to keep a designer dog and have an allergy to animals. We can’t say that Whoodles is the most safe bet that does not drool but after interviewing 7 Whoodles owners, we found that six of them tend to not drool often. So, it’s a plus sign and a Gogo Gogo sign and a Gogo Gogo for those who are allergic to animals.

As I told you that you may find them not drooling to often but each of them is going to be different from another as they are a designer dog/mix. Plus, if you don’t like a dog to lick you or being too cheesy with you, then maybe in terms of hybrid, a Whoodles can be a better option than other mixers. This is one of the most important features that makes them hypoallergenic dog breeds.

 

Soft And Non-Shedding Coat

One of the most observable things about them is they tend to have a soft Coat that makes them look fluffy. But, apart from their soft coat, they also have low shedding coats by which I mean they are not going to shed as much as other dog breeds.





But it doesn’t mean that they are are going to be completely void of danders and shedding. But yeah, they do shed less compared to other dog breeds and its an advantage for those who are are looking for a designer breed that considered hypoallergenic.

Out of 7 Whoodles owners, two of them were breeders and said that they have petted Whoodles all his lifetime and the most important thing everyone mentioned about Whoodles is that they don’t typically shed and they are very intelligent animal that can be trained easily.





They also said that they are a very playful and lovable designer dog and can get along with other pets as well as children. Saying further they don’t shed much hair compared to other mixers compared.

Two of them also mentioned that it’s false that they are hypoallergenic dog breeds because they used to shed like crazy and one of them even switched from Whoodles to another hybrid. But when we interviewed one of them, he seems to give us all the information’s that we need to know why they used to say like crazy.

As I told you, a bad grooming practice and bathing schedule make them a bad hypoallergenic dog and also convert them from hypoallergenic to non-hypoallergenic dog breeds. One of them said that it was his fault because he was a very busy person and her wife was also a teacher. So, there was almost nobody to take care of Whoodles grooming and bathing.

So in conclusion what we learn that even Whoodles are hypoallergenic, they are are not completely nonshedding dogs. You are likely to experience some constant shedding from their skin as well but with the proper trimming and clipping their coat you can keep the shedding minimum.

 

I will tell y’all later how you should bath them and groom them to keep the danders forming and shedding to a minimum. But right now, we learn that out of 7 Dog owners 5 of them, experienced almost little to nothing shedding from Whoodles. Their non-shading coat is one of the major reasons and features that help them in claiming the title of hypoallergenic dogs.

Low Danders Forming

Almost all dogs produce some dead skin cells that are known as danders mostly and dandruff too. Danders is what that is most likely to Trigger your allergies and can make you feel miserable. Most of the dogs that are considered hypoallergenic dogs are known for low dander forming.

Almost remember, danders is not a good or a bad thing because almost all the dogs produce danders and is very common to notice that. Well, it can’t be referred to as a bad thing because even we have some dead skin cells that need to be shed but it is also not a very good thing for those who have allergies.

Danders can get right into your bed and also can get stuck to almost everything like on the couch, on the bed, on the dining table, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and on your clothes too. Sometimes, you can even find those dander in your foods, and that is not a good thing for sure

But you are very lucky as you are going to keep a mix like Whoodles as they tend to shed less and are prone to have low danders. But it always recommended moisturizing their skin as dry skin can promote more danders forming on their skin.

Smart and Intelligent

No doubt that you are very lovable and kind dogs. The most important feature that most of the Whoodles owner mentioned is that they are very easy to train because of their high intelligence level. Whoodles tend to be very gentle, patient, and willing in the training session. Due to their intelligence level, learn faster compared to other hybrids like Pomsky or Pomston.

Training can come very handy when it comes to making them stay in one place and behave cooperatively. You can easily make them stay in one place and make them associated with the bed as their sleep area to contain the shredded hair so that you can clean them off every morning.

Apart from them, you can also teach them not to lick you very easily and to keep their tongue to themselves. You can also make them stay in one place as well as teach them not to roam around the bedroom area or the kitchen area and make them aware that these two places are not a doggy place or a place where he can be.

So in conclusion, you can easily train them and make them follow your command. Maybe, right now, you may not find training as much as significant as it sounds but believes me it comes very handy to those who have allergies. Later on, I will tell you why training is very important when you have a pet like this when someone’s lives around them who has allergies.

Whoodles Grooming and Bathing Tips

You may not think that grooming can make a huge difference in keeping those irritates to a minimum but proper and effective grooming can make a huge difference in how your allergy reacts around a Whoodles. You should never ignore grooming when it comes to allergies.

The most important factor of grooming that matters can make a huge difference in how your allergy reacts around Whoodles is brushing their coat. You should brush their coat once every 2-3 days to ensure that their hair is not getting Tangled or matted and they are looking fresh and clean all the time.

If it’s possible, you should always look for brushing their coat every single day as when you brush a dog’s coat, their skin releases natural oils over their whole body that prevents their skin from being dry. If you are a too-busy person, then you can also brush them only once in two-three days but brushing your coat every day is always recommended.

 

They don’t shed heavily so you don’t need to invest in any kind of de-shedding tool but you do need a good slicker or pin brush to brush their coat properly. Always make sure that you brush their hair in the direction of the hair grows because brushing their hair against the direction of hair growth can make your dog feel pain and make the experience very bad for them.

Apart from that, it is also recommended that you don’t brush their coat if you are the one who suffers from allergies. It is also best if you just brush them outside the home so that their loose hair can’t get spread all over the home and doesn’t get collected inside.





If there is nobody present in your house who can brush their coat for you, then you can also brush them as they are hypoallergenic dog breeds but make sure that you take some medications to prevent any possible allergy from getting triggered by their loose hair or danders.

Now let’s talk about that Bathing Schedule.

Most of the time, it has been seen that first-time dog owners think that bathing a dog to often can make the dog look good, clean, and keep their loose hair and danders too minimum. Even me as a first-time dog owner used to think that if I bath a dog frequently, I can keep their shedding frequency to a minimum as well as dander forming. But the result was the opposite.

I was inexperienced so I did some research on Google and after spending hours and hours on Surfing the internet I found that bathing a dog too often can make their skin look unnatural and dry. Plus, bathing a dog frequently encourage their natural oils to get washed off with the water. And everybody knows that it’s a bad thing.

 

So what I did is invested some money on natural shampoo and conditioner to keep the skin moisturized all the time so their skin won’t get dry and always look fluffy and natural. At first, I found those shampoos and conditioners very expensive compared to other brands but it was worth it, as the Expectations and the outcome matched perfectly.

Under 3 months of using those shampoo and conditioner, I found that my dogs look more fluffy, clean and healthy compared to the last 6 months. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I used to bet pet 3 Golden Retriever back in 2016.

So from my viewpoint and my experience, I would recommend you bath your Whoodles only once a month and always use a good shampoo and conditioner to make sure that their skin is getting moisturized after every single bath. You only need to invest once a year in shampoo and conditioner because the bathing frequency is low and the shampoo and conditioner bottle can last for 2 years easily.
