if you are looking for a non-allergic dog you should always go to a trusted breeder... but dont forget to ask your local shelter. There are many pets in shelters now looking for a new home to take them in.
maybe like not furry.. how about Chihuahua or a Pug...?
But they both shed and chihuahuas are not usually very good with kids.
My good friend has a bichon frise/shih tzu mix that does not shed and is good with kids. You could look into those breeds and see if you like them
You should get a Toy Poodle, Bishon Frise, or Shih Tzu.
I have faith that since you are looking for a small breed you have all ready taught your children how to be gentle. Small Dog puppies are exactly like babies.
I personally dislike all three breeds; but those are the only ones I can guarantee to you that won't cause allergies or shed a lot.
DO NOT BUY A DESIGNER DOG! (i.e. poodle mixes, bishon mixes, etc) When you buy a non-pure bred dog you are contributing to the problem of over population. The only dogs worthy of being bred are those in the AKC or UKC competing for points. If the dog finishes & titles they have the right to be bred. This means they have earned the points to obtain "CH" in front of their name. Do not buy a dog unless it was Champion Sired!

This is not exactly true. Getting a mutt can be good. There are less chance of health problems and sometimes they are better tempered. You can get a mixed breed or not, it is up to you. This is not nesicarly contributing to the over population problem.
Take your time learning about the different breeds with their pros and cons to see which best fits your family. There are many desirable dogs both pure bred and not, it just depends on what qualities to which you place value and are worth seeking.
And of course, what kind of a dog lover would I be if my own dog was not recommended, a chocolate english cocker is very nice. :-D
I would suggest going with a short haired chi or maybe a pug. There are so many dog breeds to choose from. checkout my site if your having trouble finding the right dog for you.
