About 10% of the world population is allergic to dogs. At the same time, 14% of abandoned dogs are due to allergic problems. At DOGKING we believe that everyone has the right to enjoy the love of a dog, just as every dog deserves to know what it is to have a home. Hence our commitment to make Australian Cobberdogs known, a hypoallergenic breed that has even connected with people whose immune systems are more sensitive to canines. However, what is it that makes this possible?
Although it is commonly thought that allergies to dogs are caused by their hair, it is because the allergic person has developed a hypersensitivity to a protein found in dander, excoriations on the dog's skin, produced by the sebaceous glands and the salivaThese particles are impregnated wherever our dog passes, staying in the air, objects, or even on people's skin or clothing. Hence, even though a dog is not in the same place as us, we can have allergy symptoms if it has been present before. This effect is aggravated when the dog licks itself, since the amount of the allergen will be greater in its coat. In addition, if it is a dog that sheds its hair frequently or loses it frequently, there will be a greater chance that someone who is sensitized will suffer an outbreak. Not only because it will be leaving hairs with the potentially allergic protein in its wake, but because the shedding will give rise to scales that contain that same substance.
The Australian Cobberdog standard is based on two pillars: temperament suitable for being a therapy and assistance dog and having a hypoallergenic coat that does not shed. All this with the purpose of preserving the essence, excellence and authenticity of the breed, so that the Australian Cobberdog is and continues to be the balanced and healthy dog that we know today, and can continue to help thousands of people.
