I Love You But, Achoo!

You wouldn’t disown a family member over allergies, but many families forego their puppy parenting dreams to keep the family allergy free. Not all dog breeds trigger watery eyes and sneezes, however: Some shed less, have less dander or don’t have any fur at all! We found the top 10 best -- and cutest -- dog breeds for a family with an allergy problem.

10. Bichon Frisé

Don't let the puffy coat fool you. These little marshmallows are jolly, easy to train and don't shed. As long as you brush their curly tresses, they won't shower dander and dust. This breed is great for a family wanting a small, cheerful dog as an easygoing companion.

For the record yorkies are not hypoallergenic. My friend has 2 of them and my allergies go off the wall.

Sammie's are shedding breeds they ain't hypoallergenic! I checked in Animal Planet and research!

We've had many dogs throughout my 51 yrs of life. Show dogs, & pets. I'm very allergic. & my father with severe asthma, & allergic to dogs. The breed that worked for us is Miniature Schnauzers. Non allergenic, & just a fantastic breed.

I've had 3 yorkies and they are the BEST! They don't bother my allergies at all (and I have to take shots to be around other dogs) PLUS they're portable. My first yorkie flew with mr every 2 weeks for 5 years - he enchanted and entertained folks waiting in line in airports and converted dozens of hotel staffers "I don't normally like little dogs, but I'd make an exception in his case," they would invariably say.

The maltese should be on this list. I have had this breed for more than 30 years and besides frequent grooming, they never shed.

I have two Chinese Crested Zoe and Roxy. They are the best dogs ! My son has ashma and it does not affect him at all. They are real clingy but I like that.

Tibetan Terrier is a non shedding dog...

Well, I thought the Belgium Malinois shedding was bad. The hubby got a tri-colored German Shepard mixed with who knows what else, and man she's so much worse with the shedding.

would like to buy the dog

My son seems to react to the saliva, not to the hair. When a dog licks his face, his skin reacts by becoming red and itchy. No breathing, wheezing problems. All dogs have saliva...what should we do?

My min pin sheds very little too, but my Belgium Malinois is always shedding, even though we comb him out everyday. I like the little Yorkie in your article. Non-shedder, I like that and they are so cute.

Great dogs! I have 3.
