Best Answer

Common allergens from dogs that cause allergic responses in people are the proteins found in their dander (dandruff), saliva, and sometimes in their urine. Also, some dogs in some breeds are not as allergen free as others in the same breed, therefore, a trial with the allergic person and the dog closely together for a period of time is the best method to use to determine if the dog is one that the allergic person can live with.

Certain breeds are known to be problematic for those with Allergies to dogs. These breeds include:

  • Afghan Hounds
  • Basset Hounds
  • Cocker Spaniels
  • Dachshunds
  • Doberman Pinschers
  • German Shepherds
  • Irish Setters
  • Springer Spaniels

See the related question below for information about breeds that many people with allergies are able to live with.

The Obama family needed a dog that was hypo-allergenic, because Malia has allergies.
