What breed of dog is worse for human allergies?

In: Allergies, Dog (Canine) Breeds [Edit categories]

Answer:

Common allergens from dogs that cause allergic responses in people are the proteins found in their dander (dandruff), saliva, and sometimes in their urine. Also, some dogs in some breeds are not as allergen free as others in the same breed, therefore, a trial with the allergic person and the dog closely together for a period of time is the best method to use to determine if the dog is one that the allergic person can live with.

Certain breeds are known to be problematic for those with allergies to dogs. These breeds include:

Afghan Hounds
Basset Hounds
Cocker Spaniels
Dachshunds
Doberman Pinschers
German Shepherds
Irish Setters
Springer Spaniels
