∙ 12y agoThere are several answers to this and they don't have to include moving out with your dog and living elsewhere, or asking your mother to move out. Here are some better choices that dogs, mom and you will probably like better:
- Your mother could contact an allergist to find out if medicines and/or desensitization for her could help.
- You could spend hours every day cleaning, remove carpeting and drapery from the house so they don't hold in the allergens (such as dog dander). This is nearly impossible to do well enough to avoid symptoms, though.
- You can research to find a dog breed with a tendency to cause fewer allergic responses in people due to characteristics of their skin and coats and/or the proteins in their saliva and urine (the things that trigger Allergies in most people).
- Select a breed of dog or an individual mixed breed dog with some of the characteristics (poodle mixes are usually good choices) and do a trial period. Even a different dog in the same breed can create different responses in people. Most responsible breeders will allow you time to live with the dog and see what happens before committing.
See the related question below for some breeds for consideration.

How is it possible to create a hypoallergenic cat?
Generally, when humans are allergic to cats, what they are allergic to is "dander", the shed skin cells and hairs that are left behind by all animals, usually mixed with saliva from the cat combing this stuff out of its fur. Hypoallergenic cats like the Sphinx and Cornish Rex have very short fur or no fur, and because of this their dander is different and less likely to cause an allergic reaction. There are also genetically-modified cats that have been changed to not emit the proteins in their dander that trigger an allergic reaction, but apart from the prohibitive price, nobody really knows what effects our forcing changes to teh cat's genetic code will have.
