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.

(page 9 of 10)

2. Chinese Crested

The most efficient way to avoid dog-induced allergies is to get a dog without any, or with very little, hair. You can't go wrong with the Chinese crested; they barely shed at all. They do produce dander and can be a little clingy, but they're very good with children.

I have a heart/lung illness & can't be around any thing that sheds... my little man is a Cockapoo! Best dog ever! So smart too!

Has anyone got an opinion on Maltese-Shih Tzu-Yorkie cross as far as allergens go?

Joyce Martin June 13, 2013 | 10:30 PM

Would like to know if these dogs are raised in my area. What the cost is?

You missed the Coton de Tulear. My fiancé is allergic to dogs except this breed, plus they are very friendly and super easy to train.

Has anyone heard about allergies with a cavapoo, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel / Poodle Hybrid Dog? Or anything about their dispositions? Many thanks, Phyllis

I'm allergic to most animals,cats and horses the most :( I have 3 dogs,2 which shred a lot. I've found it's not the shredding with me,it's the dogs with short fur like labs and staff's. Mine are husky/malamute cross,German shepherd/malamute cross and a terrier cross :)

Anyone who says that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog breed doesn't understand the meaning of the term. Hypoallergenic means low on he scale of causing allergic reactions. Hyperallergenic means high on the scale of causing allergic reactions. Some dog breeds are less likely to cause allergic reactions than others and can be categorized as hypoallergenic. I believe the allergist's nurse meant that every dog breed can cause allergies in some people.

Hypoalergenic means low on the scale of causing allergic reactions. Hyperallergenic means high on the scale of causing allergiic reactions. Some dog breeds are less likely to cause allergic reactions than others. Therefore, some breeds are hypoallergenic. Anyone who says no breeds are hypoallergenic probably doesn't understand the meaning of the word and probably means that all dog breeds can produce an allergic reaction in some people.

I have a Shih Tzu and I am very allergic to it.. :/ i Sneeze a lot, and if I'm somewhere near my face after just petting him, I scratch my eyes out (almost..) I hope the Basenji is better, because that's the dog breed i'm going to get next.

I HAD 2 AFGHANS AND THEY NEVER SHED AND NEVER BOTHERED ME AS I HAVE TERRIBLE ALLERGIES.

Miniature Schnauzers are really great for people with allergies!!!!

I talked to our allergists nurse today and asked her if there was such a thing as a hypoallergenic dog and she said, "I wish there was." We had to find a new home for our golden retriever because our son is allergic to dogs and were considering a shih tzu, but now we will probably go with a dog that can be outside.
