Golden doddles because the are hypoalergenic. they dont shed, and are a descent sized dog. They are great with kids.

I was very allergic to Dog Dander and went into a pet shop 8 years ago to find a pet that I could handle for my 6 year old. The owner asked me to pet a certain dog. I had no reaction. He said it was because it was fed Nutro Lamb and Rice and since the food doesn't have bi products like corn, the dander is kept down. We have had a Cocker Spaniel for 8 years, and I can't touch my eyes after petting her, but don't have any problems. I am still allergic to dogs, and will have difficulty breathing within 10 minutes of being in the same house as a non Nutro fed dog.

First of all I have to say, bravo! What an answer! Detailed, superb and you got all your facts in the right place that's for sure, and second of all, the question.

I would recommend the hungarian guard- and shepherd dog Pumi, which you can read more about on www.Pumi.no, and my reason for this choice is that my entire foster family is allergic to both cats and dogs yet we have 3 dogs (all Pumi), and we had 1 cat... as soon as Leo (the cat) tragically was hit by a car no one of the allergic five noticed any sign of the allergy accept in the pollen season, but that's a whole other story....They didn't tell they're doctor that they had all these animals, because he would flip, and he still doesn't know a thing and he hasn't suspected anything, and he has specialized in that field/area. How about that? Funny story really :-D

I would recomend the keeshond. These dogs make brilliant family pets because of their sweet nature. I grew up with a keeshond and my sis has really bad asthma and allergies but never hard a problem with my keeshond. This breed also only needs a short walk a day. They might sould like a breed from heaven but they have two drawbacks. One is their long fur. Though they only shed (bi-)annually (and the fur comes out in clumps which makes for easy cleaning) they need to be groomed daily or every other day. The second issue is... well... they have a tendency to get fat and the intelligent devils know just how to look at you to get you to give them treats. Though super friendly they were originally used as guard dogs on barges so they would work well in guarding the house from strangers (though their not going to attack their going to bark happily saying welcome to my home). I love these dogs and would suggest them to anyone. For more info go to: www.dogbreedinfo.com/keeshond

I have a Westie (West Highland White Terrier), and I'm an allergy magnet. My westie hasn't caused any problems. I'd recommend him for people looking for low-allergen dogs.

I have also heard about a type of dog called a Maltese. They are small and come in any color. Aparently they have real hair instead of fur. Sometimes their fur can be curly or really long. Most people get them mixed up with poodles. They love people, too.

It all depends on your allergy. I have a friend that is allergic to any shedding animal and she has a losopoo which is a mix with poodle and there is a lot of different kinds of mix breeds that are mixed with poodle so anything with poodle mix is good :) hope i could help
