Are Doodles REALLY hypoallergenic, or is it just a myth? 🤔🐶
If you've heard that Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, and other Poodle mixes are perfect for allergy sufferers, you might be surprised by what the science actually says!

In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, dog scientist & ethical breeder Amanda Venturino (MSc in Immunology & Animal Science) breaks down the truth about Doodle coat genetics, dog allergens, and what hypoallergenic actually means.

You’ll Learn:

✅ What “hypoallergenic” REALLY means (and why it’s often misunderstood)
✅ The science behind dog allergies & the Can F1 protein
✅ Why some Doodles shed more than others (and how genetics plays a role)
✅ How to reduce allergens if you're allergic to your own dog!
✅ The most important questions to ask breeders if allergies are a concern

This episode was recorded in 2023 (for details, check out Where Did The Doodle Pro GO?! ). Since then, Amanda has welcomed two more litters, and her anticipated fall 2025 litter is planned with a puppy from the litter mentioned in this episode—pending the completion of final intensive health testing.

Additionally, GANA™ has transitioned from ribbons to bronze, silver, and gold badges. You can find more details on their website here.
