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.

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.

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.
