Which dog breeds are best for people with allergies? Is it true that some people can be allergic to cats but not to dogs?

What you are looking for is known as "hypoallergenic dog breeds." All dogs produce dander -> allergins, but hairless dogs and single coat dogs will produce less.From the AKC's list as of 2005. Interestingly, this list does change over time.-- Bedlington Terrier-- Bichon Frise-- Chinese Crested-- Irish Water Spaniel-- Kerry Blue Terrier-- Maltese-- Poodles (Toy, Miniature or Standard)-- Portuguese Water Dog-- Schnauzer (Miniature, Standard or Giant)-- Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier-- XoloitzcuintliIt is very try that some people can be deadly allergic to cats, but not to dogs at all. Allergies are specic to the pet's dander.
