Thanks Sue for this great query.  The reply to this is NO.

Brindle boxer dogs (or any colour boxer dog) are not hypoallergenic.  They are not listed by any of the primary global Kennel Clubs as currently being hypoallergenic, non-shedding or or else very good for allergy sufferers.

Here are the primary factors:

1. Boxers, with their drooping jowls, tend to develop a lot of saliva.  It is dependent on the 'jowliness' of the dog, but for some, they will generally display prolonged strings of saliva dangling from their mouths.  Saliva is a primary bring about of allergic reactions for folks with canine (or standard pet) allergy symptoms.  In fact for some most people their allergic response to saliva is significantly a great deal more pronounced than their reaction to canine hair or puppy dander. You only have to examine the feedback on the online to identify people describing that one particular of the significantly less pleasant elements of residing with a boxer is the puppy drool all over the household at mouth height! 
   
2. Some Boxers can groom themselves a whole lot.  This implies saliva can be  transferred in considerable quantities to the coat hair.  This self-grooming effect is just one of the causes why the American Kennel Club eliminated Basenjis from the record of likely hypoallergenic dogs.
   
3. Even with getting a really small coat, Boxers are classed as 'shedding' canines.  The extent of explained shedding differs, but is ordinarily 'moderate' shedding.  They shed twice per yr, in spring for a thinner summer season coat, and autumn (fall) for a thicker winter months coat.  Nevertheless they also shed lightly and continuously throughout the year.

Boxers are awesome family canines with lots of enjoyable and enthusiasm - and needing tons of exercise also (two hours per day or extra)!  They make great watchdogs as they can be suspicious of strangers.  They are intelligent and trainable (if you make it enjoyment and fascinating) but also have a stubborn streak.  Fantastic for outdoorsy country folk and energetic households with older children.

If you are on the lookout for a medium sized, active hypoallergenic friends and family dog which has very similar traits to a Boxer, why not presume about these choices:

• Airedale Terrier (but observe for aggressiveness)
  
• Irish H2o Spaniel
  
• Kerry Blue Terrier
  
• Conventional Poodle
  
• Hungarian Puli
  
• Portuguese Water Canine
  
• Traditional Schnauzer
  
• Irish Soft Coated (Wheaten) Terrier
