shed much?

poodles. people are allergic to the dander, not the hair/fur. some dogs are better for people with allergies. my step-father is extremely allergic to most dogs, but he's had a poodle for 13 years, and no allergies.

buy a dog and shave it

shitzus do not shed. my friend is severly allergic to all animals with hair, and she has had a shitzu since she was a baby, and the dog gives her no problems, since he doesn't shed.good luck!

chihauhuas don't shed

Bichon Frise, Bedlington terrier, Basenji, Italian Greyhound, Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Soft coated Wheaten Terriers.

I think they are yorkies ( any kind none of them shed ) Labs (any color ) shnauzers ..... Shih Tzu / Maltese....... since none of these dogs shed they are best for people with allergies. Hope these dogs are good for you.

Hi, I think the Labordoodle and the goldendoodle are pretty popular with people who have allergies.

Hey I'm in the same postion as you. But with my personal experince no dog is really hypoallergenic. ALthough their are the select few try these: American Hairless TerrierBasenjiBedlington TerrierBergamascoBichon FriseBichon/YorkieBologneseBorder TerrierBouvier des FlandresCairn TerrierCavachonChacy RaniorChinese Crested (hairless)CockapooCoton De TulearDoodleman PinscherGiant SchnauzerHairless KhalaHavaneseIrish Water SpanielKerry Blue TerrierLabradoodleLagotto RomagnoloLowchen (Little Lion Dog)MalteseMalti-PooMiniature Littlefield SheepdogMiniature PoodleMiniature SchnauzerNative American Indian DogPeruvian Inca OrchidPoosPortuguese Water DogPuli (Pulik)SchnoodleShepadoodleShichonShih-TzuSoft Coated Wheaten TerrierSpanish Water DogStandard PoodleStandard SchnauzerTibetan TerrierToy PoodleWest Highland White TerrierWirehaired Fox TerrierXoloitzcuintleAllergies Yorkshire Terrier

The difference between shedding and non-shedding breeds is this: shedding breeds grow hair to a certain length, after which it falls out and new hair comes in, usually twice a year. How long & how thick the coat grows, and how much will be shed, depends on the particular breed.Non-shedding breeds have hair that just grows and grows, exactly like the hair on a human head, and just like humans the hair can be cut regularly or left to grow into a spectacular flowing coat. The upside is no hair in the house, on your clothes, or in the air. The downside is that the hair needs regular care, just like yours, which can be time-consuming or expensive, otherwise it will get long and matted. If grooming isn't your favorite hobby, it's perfectly fine to keep the dog's coat short. If you're not fussy about giving your dog a fancy cut, it's fairly easy to do this yourself.Whether the dog has a shedding or non-shedding coat is an inherited, genetic trait, so pure-bred dogs are reliably one or the other. With cross-bred dogs you can never be sure. A lot of people now are mixing shedding and non-shedding breeds hoping to get puppies with the characteristics of a shedding breed, without the shedding. Beware of breeders that advertize "non-shedding" cross-breeds if they won't give you a guarantee, because, unless the dog is a little older, you can't be sure which genes it inherited from its parents.

you could probably be safe going with any type of terrier or hypo-allergienc dog.

I suggest Airedale Terrier

I'm an expert, a lab.

My Dad Is Allergy To Every Living Thing On The Planet. No Joke! We Have An Airdale Anyway. All Dogs Shed But Airdales And Poodles Not As Much. Hope This Helps.
