chinese crested because they have little or no hair and also poodle because they dont shed .

a shih-tzu i have 2 and they are so sweet and smart

Poodles and miniature schnauzers are supposed to be good breeds as well.

my cousin has bad allergies to dogs, but he didnt show them with my jack russell/beagle mix (rough coated), even though she does shed. Maybe rough coated terrier fur would be ok? they are very high energy dogs though. And i'm only going based on my cousin, i dont know that rough coats are hypoallergenic and never heard of that before. I wonder if you could talk to a rescue organization about temporary housing one and seeing how you do.

Poodles do not have dog dander, and that's what I always had, with my asthma and allergic reaction to dogs. But, about a month ago, I bought, on line, a teensy tiny registered toy fox terrier who really WILL fit into a teacup! She is adorable, and smart, and has short hair that does not seem to upset my allergies. She is almost totally grown, now, and is 4 inches long and 4 inches high! So far, my allergies are not being upset by this little miracle.

I feel sorry for you.
Shcnauzers don't drop hair and Wire coated terriers don't either. They are both cute, affectionate breeds of dog and neither of them would create so much of a problem for you.

None - absolutely none, forget the chinese crested or "non shedding" poodle, that's nonsense, bad breeder hype to con the gullible.

If you have allergies it is to the dander of dogs, as you said - and all dogs have skin. Dander is from the skin, not the fur.

I have a granddaughter with the same allergies, she is allergic to dogs, cats, etc. I do dachshund rescue and have 5 of my own. She is allergic to some, not others - only way to tell is to be around the dog for at least a day and see what happens, longer would be better.

So far, she has been allergic to most dogs, with the exception of 3 (out of dozens) - they adopted one and she is fine, but I made very sure there would be no allergies.
There is no known way to be sure except to live with the dog and that would be cruel unless you can just visit with the dog first - don't adopt until you are sure that dog is the exception (she was allergic to one long hair she wanted, even though she is not allergic to my long hair - she is allergic to chocolate dachsies, not to the short hair they ultimately adopted - hard to figure out, seems to have something to do with the skin odor and residue).

The non-shedding breeds are considered hypo-allergenic

Shih Tzu, Bichon, Poodle, Airdale Terrier… etc..

also you can talk to your doctor about allergy shots - my sister wanted a dog years and years ago she picked a breed known for causing allergies so she got shots ever 2 weeks so she could have the dog…
I am sure medicine has improved since then…

get a purebred -NEVER a mix (eg stay away from "goldendoodles") if you want hypo-allergnic.

Uhmmm….poodles and every other dog breed has dander. Dander is not the shedding hair,,but the dead skin along with dried saliva of the dog. So even a hairless dog has dander. Having said that,,,the more the dog sheds, the more dander falls off with the hair,,and the more dander is floating around everywhere.

Any dog that must have hair cuts regularly because it grows constantly has less dander floating around in the air. Poodles are good,,but so are maltese, shih tzu, yorkies etc. These breeds require grooming regularly, which washes away alot of the dander, and there is no undercoat (thick underneath hair) to catch and hold the dander, so there is less build up to cause allergies.

i think you should get any dog u want just make sure you take allergy medicine

Since all animals have dander and that's what most people are allergic to I'd get a poodle or another dog that hardly sheds. If you get a dog from a breeder, ask if you can bring him back if your allergies become severe. Since you know you have allergies, you'll know the dog will be taken back instead of giving to a shelter. And don't let the dog sleep in bed with you. Keep your bed dander free. You spend more time there than anywhere else. Your dog could sleep on the floor in a doggie bed or crate so you'll still have each other's company. Good luck.

Any hair (as opposed to fur) breed that you will commit to bathing on a regular basis for the next 15+ years should be ok for you as long as your allergies are to the dander and not the saliva. Here is an excellent article that you should read:

Choose hairless dogs – Chinese crested, Mexican hairless
Dogs with fur which don't shed much dander – Bichon Frise, Bedlington terrier, Basenji, Italian Greyhound, Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Soft coated Wheaten Terriers
are all good ideas. Labradoodles (first bred as guide dogs for blind people with allergies) and other hair mixes might be a good option for you as well. (Wheaten and Basenji's have special care, temperment, and exercise needs, so be careful about choosing one of those).
Go here for the full listing:
Beagles have naturally oily skin and that can help a lot with dander problems as well. But I would suggest that you contact a beagle rescue and foster a beagle for a week or so to see if/ how you react to them. If it works out, there ya go!
Good luck and I hope this helps.

it has nothing to do with the dogs hair people. if you are allergic the only thing you can do is take madicine before you are around the dog and any dog breed is fine if you have medicine. but it has nothing to do with the dogs hair!

Alot of people are missing the point here. Dander is from the skin, so regardless of whether the dog loses hair, people will still be allergic. I have severe asthma and am allergic to dander. I got a Bichon Frise last April. She sheds a little but the dander has no effect on my allergies. For the first time in my life I can rub my face into her fur and have no reaction whatsoever. I believe poodles are the same.

All breeds produce dander. The only way to keep it down would be lots of bathing. I've seen some spray advertised that supposably keep it down but I don't know if they work.

On the other hand if your concern is shedding then Poodles, Portuguese Water Dogs, Bichon Frise and most of the wire coated breeds will have less shedding than most of the other breeds. However they also tend to require a not more grooming.

A dog that has hair not fur.Hair does not shed.How about a Bichon or Poodle.They have hair and there very affectionate dogs and have a wonderful personality! Best of all there very cute love everybody and are very good w/children.

poodles

Poodles are supposed to be hypoallergenic dogs. I have been told in the past that yorkies also are good for people with allergies but I can't say how true it is.
