Is there a dog that is truly hypoallergenic and cute?

Question

I have asthma, allergic to dogs and my daughter would love a dog. Anyone else go through this and find one that didn't cause a problem?

Answer 1

a cross between a poodle and a lab its caller a labradoodles

Answer 2

Poodles would be your best bet. Poodles don't have fur, they have hair like humans, therefore it would be almost impossible for anyone to be allergic to poodles.

Answer 3

The ones I know of that would most likely fit your bill is the Poodle; all sizes, the Maltese, and the Yorkie. They do not shed and have hair like ours. I have only had 1 person during the course of my rescues who did have an allergy to a poodle.  

Answer 4

There is no dog that is 100% allergy-free.  All dogs have dander, even low shedding varieties.  It's just that some breeds trigger fewer allergic responses in certain people than others and its very individual.  Some breeds MAY work for you but there's no guarantee until you are exposed.  And often that means taking the dog back because it didn't work out.  

There are things you can do (in addition to getting a low shed breed) such as bathing the dog frequently, vacuuming often and keeping the dog off beds and furniture but whether this works is really dependent on how sensitive you are.

Answer 5

While no dog is completely 100% hypoallergenic, there are low shedding dog breeds that produce less dander.  Here's a list:

As a side note, I have a shih tzu male, and I have a friend that is allergic to dogs, and she has no trouble being around and petting on him.

Good luck.

Answer 7

labradoodles && goldendoodles are both hypoallergenic(because of the poodle in them) and they are ridiculously adorable.

Answer 9

My roommate has dog allergies and she bought a bichon/shih tzu mix (it's called a teddy bear).  

It's adorable and hypo-allergenic.
