Yes. It is a well known fact that poodles don't shed. I had one for years and he never shed once. The bad thing is you have to take them to the groomers alot because their curly hair can get very matted. If you don't like the idea of having a poodle then look here,http://animal.discovery.com/breedselector/dogselectorindex.do?clik=animal_leftnav .They have a dog breed selector that tells you info about every type of dog and you can choose the best dog for you.

You can get a TOTALLY hairless dog and be allergic to it. There is NO TOTALLY shed free dog. Even humans shed hair daily, and so do ALL dogs. ALL dogs have dander too. You may be totally allergic to many Poodles, but may find one that you are not. The difference is the individual dog, not the breed.
It will be hard to find one you are not allergic to. The Guide Dog Assoc. do allergy testing on a person against several puppies in a litter. They test the person against the hair and the saliva to find a dog that the person has no reaction to. They found that the can find Labs that people are no sensitive to. That is why the Labradoodle stopped being bred for that purpose. Labs work just as well. There were still almost as many people that had a reaction to the Labradoodle.
Don't be tricked by breeders that claim you will have no reaction to their breed. This is how many puppies and dog end up in the shelters!!!

There are several breeds that should help. However you will still need your allergy med's. All animals have hair and dander so it will be difficult. There is a small dog from china that only has hair on its head and the rest of its body is hairless. Also poodles don't shed and some people I know that have allergies have poodles. I think you should ask a Vet or your allergist for idea's. If your allergic to fur and dander why do you want a dog? I am just interest...good luck on your search...

Unfortunatly, there are no hypoallergenic dogs. There are ones that don't aggrevate asthma or allergies as bad as others. Our Vet and Allergist recommended Yorkies and Bichons. My hubby has severe asthma. So we have two Yorkies. He has had no trouble. I do keep air purifiers running around their bed and all over the house. It helps to draw dander and loose hairs out of the air. Hope this helps! Good luck!

remeber that any animal you get will have fur and dander. If you're insistent on getting a dog then I would suggest a small poodle, they don't shed and have little to no dander. I would also talk to your dr about getting on some allergy medication before getting the dog, such as zyrtek or allegra.

Poodles, bchons, or chinees crestants would be ok becouse they don't have fur they have hair.Chinees crestants have hair only on thier face and ancles the rest of them is just skin.
