Hello there try this website, it tells you all about dander. I have asthma and have it for years and know that I should not have a cat because of the dander. However he is very old and do not have the heart to get rid of him. I know that my health would be better all round if he weren't with me.
Any animal will produce dander as you are obviously aware and as far as I am aware all dogs are the same. So think very hard and long before buying a dog...as they are with you for life.
Even with all the love and joy my cat has brought me over the years, given the same choice again I would not have a pet.

Hypoallergenic dog breeds are those touted as being hypoallergenic; that is, provoking fewer allergic reactions in allergy sufferers.
There are various coat types that are said to produce fewer allergens: single-coated dogs, who do not have a thick undercoat; dogs whose coat continues to grow, like human hair, rather than shedding regularly; and hairless dogs. These breeds usually shed less dander and hair and are, therefore, considered hypoallergenic. However, even hairless dogs can produce enough dander to affect a highly allergic person.

All dogs can cause Asthma, it is not the dog but their hairs so if you find a dog without hairs well that will be answer to your question.

My allergist advised that poodles are great for people that are allergic to dogs because they actually have hair and not fur. My sister-in-law was only able to own a poodle because of her allergies and did very will with her dog.

You could check with your vetrinarian, but I have been told that poodles do not cause asthma in some people while other dogs do.

Poodles are good for asthma sufferers....as are Labradoodles..a new breed, cross between a labrador and a poodle...I think these are the best of the breeds..

Poodles are said to be allergy free because they don't have fur - they have hair.
