My mom has allergies to dog & cat dander, but we want to get a dog. What dogs would be okay to get?

[carmelthyghs]

hot dogs are good, espcially with mustard

[kitty45342]

chinese crested....its hairless so no dander.

Poodles are good. Toy, teacup, whatever. They have hair and not fur, so there is less dander.

Maltese have no undercoat. Their hair is just like yours, which means they have no extra protection when out in cold weather. Many of my family and friends have allergies, but can sit with my Maltese on their lap with no reaction. I think there are a few other breeds, but we're very partial to Maltese anyway!

Maltese's, poodles and basenji's. they don't shed!

A poodle, definitely. They are very intelligent (Second most intelligent breed, right behind collies -- and collies shed a LOT) and hypo-allergenic, and do not shed. It's best to get a dog from a breeder, NOT a pet store -- that way you know it's a purebred and doesn't have any other DNA that may cause your mom allergies.Don't be swayed by the "foofy cut" that show poodles tend to get... we keep our poodle shaved down (save for a puff on the tail and the head) and he doesn't look ridiculous like most dogs.You can get a toy/miniature poodle (small) or standard (normal-size, the type we have). They're very playful and full of love, and like I said before, hypo-allergenic.
