Remember that no dog can be 100% hypoallergenic though, since all dogs produce "dander" which can cause allergic reactions. Those dogs listed in the link above produce the least amount of dander.

EDIT: Jeez ɱƔş┼ƹƦƴ M∆ɲ ♥'s คlครкคภ รภ๏гкєlร!! Are you trying to give me nightmares?!

EDIT2: It's okay. I'll forgive ya!=)

Answer #3:

poodle breeds are great because they don't shed

good luck~ I hope you find what you are looking for~
maybe make it an outside canine~~ to help your mother out?

Answer #4:

Go to your doctor and ask him about a new allergie medican that just came out. It might work are you can get a fish.

Answer #5:

It depends on WHAT on a dog your mother is allergic to. The dander, or the proteins in the saliva?

Despite what some people on Yahoo Answers will tell you, there is NO SUCH THING as a hypoallergenic dog.

You can get dogs that are low shedders with hair rather than fur, such as Poodles, Yorkies, but all dogs have the same proteins in their saliva.

Answer #6:

Poodles or hairless dog. Keeping it clipped or brushed regularly for poodles. They have almost no hair dandruff. Poodles are very smart and easy to train. They get along with other animals and all types of people.

Answer #7:

Well if you go to these links, they will give you a whole bunch of hypoallergenic dogs. small ones, big ones, medium ones, etc.

Out of all of those different hypo allergenic breeds, I would have to say a poodle. I am a poodle owner. And I am a small dog person. But poodles come in three different sizes. toy, miniature, and standard. I have a toy poodle, and a miniature poodle mix. They are great dogs, and they don't shed. they have hair, and not fur. so that's why they don't shed. they have a curly coat, and they come in so many different colors. they are generally good around kids, and other animals, as long as you socialize them from an early age. poodles excel in agility, and obedience. they are ranked 2nd or 3rd smartest dogs in the world. and they are so easy to potty train! they don't need a lot of exercise. they are good apartment dwellers. and just a romp in the yard is enough exercise for them. but make sure you have a fenced in yard before you leave them alone in the yard. maybe a walk everyday is enough to keep them happy. but they need to be groomed a lot. about every 4-6 weeks. a lot of hypo allergenic dogs need to be groomed quite often. but poodles are my favorite breed of dog, and i just love them!

Answer #8:

Well no dog will be hypoallergenic (despite the outrageous claims made by many people), but some people have better luck with certain breeds.

Allergy "friendly" dogs are those that don't have very much dander. Some people will tell you that dogs that shed very little are the low dander breeds, but Chihuahuas shed a TON but they're low dander. My fiance has two, they don't bother my allergies as long as I don't touch my face to them while cuddling)


These breeds are considered "low dander." The dander is what causes allergies, not the fur.

Airedale
Australian Terrier
Bichon Frise
Bouvier des Flandres
Cairn Terrier
Chihuahua
Chinese Crested
Giant Schnauzer
Irish Water Spaniel
Italian Greyhound
Maltese
Miniature Schnauzer
Norfolk Terrier
Norwich Terrier
Poodle (all types)
Portuguese Water Dog
Puli
Schnauzer
Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
Tibetan Terrier
Welsh Terrier
Xoloitzcuintli
Yorkshire Terrier

Some people are only allergic to SOME breeds of dog (my mom can't be around German Shepherd at ALL of she breaks out in hives). I suggest researching the breeds on the list above to find out what their personalities are like. Once you've narrowed it down to some you would be interested in owning, call some reputable breeders near you and ask if your mom can spend some time with their dogs. If she's allergic to the breed, I'm sure she'll find out shortly thereafter. ;)

As far as good with other pets goes, you want to avoid terriers. It is true, like you said, that the animals behavior is how they're raised... but terriers were bred to instinctively hunt small animals. My mom has a Yorkie/Maltese mix and he chases down our cat and chews on her... it's not aggressive... but it isn't pleasant either.

Of the breeds above, the ones that have a reputation for being good with other pets (as far as I'm aware, others may be good too) are as follows:
Bichon Frise
Chihuahua
Italian Greyhound
Maltese
Poodle

Check this out, you can figure out a good breed for your family... it includes pet friendly and better for allergy sufferers.

Good luck! Let us know what you decide!


And just so you are aware, dogs that are mixed with poodle and something else, like a labXpoodle mix, are not always good for allergy sufferers. Like ALL inherited traits, the amount of dander produced can be from the labrador parent OR the poodle parent. There are some "labradoodles" out there causing intense allergies... JUST like a lab. Mix breed dogs can inherit ANY trait of EITHER parent.

If you get a mix, try to find a mix of two or more of the dogs listed above. If mom has low dander, and dad has low dander... kid will have low dander. A lot of the smaller breeds listed above are frequently found in shelters... even mixed together! So you should have a good chance of being able to save a life if you choose to do so. :)

Answer #9:

Australian Terrier
Bichon Frise
Italian Greyhound
Labrodoodle (labrador and poodle mix)
Miniature Schnauzer
Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
Welsh Terrier
West Highland Terrier (Westie)
Yorkshire Terrier (yorkie)

They are all very good family, and allergy free dogs!

hope i helped!

Answer #10:

Well, any breed they wish to. I have dog allergies, and have owned many breeds of dog, including Golden Retriever, English Setter, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, and more. The real question is how much is your mother willing to work at owning a dog? If you have dog allergies and wish to own one, you must be willing to be an AWESOME housekeeper-constant vacuuming, dusting, brushing dogs, bathing dogs, etc. Your mother should discuss with her allergist ways to live with a dog, as well as talk about immunotherapy, which would help her deal with her allergies-and if you're allergic to dogs, you're allergic to several other things, as well.

Dog fur is not allergenic-their dander, saliva, and urine carry proteins that people are allergic to.

Answer #11:

you should try a schnauzer, that's what we have and he doesn't shed and supposedly doesn't have the dander that other dogs have.
