Thank you Sue for this fantastic question.  The solution to this is NO.

Brindle boxer canines (or any colour boxer canine) are not hypoallergenic.  They are not outlined by any of the big international Kennel Clubs as staying hypoallergenic, non-shedding or in any other case wonderful for allergy sufferers.

Here are the primary causes:

1. Boxers, with their drooping jowls, tend to yield tons of saliva.  It depends on the 'jowliness' of the canine, but for some, they will quite often indicate very long strings of saliva dangling from their mouths.  Saliva is a leading induce of allergic reactions for individuals with puppy (or basic pet) allergies.  In point for some individuals their allergic response to saliva is far even more pronounced than their response to puppy hair or puppy dander. You only have to analysis the feedback on the world wide web to unearth people today describing that a person of the less nice factors of living with a boxer is the puppy drool approximately the residence at mouth height! 
   
2. Some Boxers can groom by themselves a great deal.  This means that saliva can be  transferred in big quantities to the coat hair.  This self-grooming impact is 1 of the causes why the American Kennel Club taken out Basenjis from the record of attainable hypoallergenic canines.
   
3. Despite developing a especially quick coat, Boxers are classed as 'shedding' canines.  The extent of described shedding varies, but is in general 'moderate' shedding.  They shed twice per 12 months, in spring for a thinner summer coat, and autumn (fall) for a thicker winter months coat.  However they also shed lightly and often during the yr.

Boxers are amazing loved ones dogs with loads of enjoyable and enthusiasm - and needing heaps of activity too (two hours for each day or far more)!  They make superior watchdogs as they can be suspicious of strangers.  They are intelligent and trainable (if you make it entertaining and captivating) but also have a stubborn streak.  Great for outdoorsy region people and lively households with older small children.
