Are Cocker Spaniels hypoallergenic?
No, Cocker Spaniels are not hypoallergenic dogs. Their double coat of fur sheds moderately throughout the year, releasing dander. Dander, along with saliva and urine, can trigger allergic reactions in those sensitive to pet allergens. 
While no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, some breeds produce less dander and are considered more suitable for people with allergies. If you have allergies and still want to add a Cocker Spaniel to your family, consult with an allergist and take steps to minimize exposure to allergens, such as regular grooming and consistent cleaning at home, including vacuuming.
