 Some dog breeds are said to produce less dander than others. Many people who are allergic to dogs can tolerate some of these ‘lower dander' dog breeds with proper environmental controls, but keep in mind that there are no guarantees. People's pet allergies vary greatly and, unless your pet allergy is mild, it may be impossible to find a dog breed that will not bother your allergies at all. With proper precautions, however, the reaction might be mild enough to live with.
Before getting a pet, it's important that you educate yourself about the different breeds in order to find the ones that best fit your lifestyle and family. Once you've done that, contact different breeders and tell them about your allergies. It's also very helpful to visit the breeders and play with the animals. This will help you to evaluate your current allergic reaction to a particular breed.
