No, ALL dogs make dander. So do all humans. It is just dead skin cells falling off (dandruff). Those people with Asthma and Allergies may also be allergic to the proteins in the urine or saliva, which also should be considered. Dogs that shed only lightly and less often usually do not pose as much of a problem because the dander, saliva, urine, on the shed coat is more easily kept controlled. There is no dog that is truly hypoallergenic but some are better than others. See the related questions.
With proper grooming care that is correct for your dog and with regular use of dander shampoo, there could be less of a problem, but each person's response will vary dog to dog (even within the same breed).

Yes, dogs can be allergic to cat dander. Just like humans, dogs can have allergic reactions to proteins found in cat dander, which can cause symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and respiratory issues.
yes. dogs have different blood types?
poodles are hypoallergenicAnother viewThere is really no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog but the dogs that don't shed don't "lose" as much dander.
no dog is allergen free they just make less dander the hair isn't the problem its the dander but Airedales are good dogs for people who are allergice to dogs.
Yes. It is called dander, and most dogs are generous with it.
When someone gets their dander up they are angry or excited. Saying 'Don't get your dander up' means relax or calm yourself down.I suspect it comes from dogs. Dark haired dogs will show their dander when upset (it can happen during a thunderstorm, or when upset at a strange dog, etc.). The appearance of white dander flakes on black fur is quite noticeable and led to the saying.
Cats and dogs, it varies, there are different types of cats, and different types of dogs. I'd stay neutral on this even though I am a dog person.
Yes. Dogs can be allergic to other dogs. Specially if one dog has longer hair and is outside often. It puts pollen onto the dogs coat and if the dogs play together or lick each other the pollen causes allergies.
Bichon's are considered allergy-free dogs. They are the best type of dog to get if you are allergic to dogs.
I have been looking into dogs with little dander because my dad is like extremely allergic to dander. two that i was interested in were a Yorkshire terrier or a Maltese. These dogs both have hair not fur and don't shed. I was in love when i saw the picture of a Yorkie! Maltese are also adorable, both small dogs. because they are small they don't have as much dander as big dogs. Just make sure you bathe your dog regularly so that they don't have as much dander. Hairless dogs would work too but they aren't as cute. Poodles are good hypoallergenic too. Here is a link to more info- dogbreedinfo.com/allergy.htm
Really small, gentle dogs that don't shed too much or hairless dogs if they want one A child who is "allergic to dogs" is actually allergic to pet dander (dry skin shed by all animals, like dandruff). There really is no dog (or cat) that does not produce dander.
Yes, dander consists of the skin flakes that shed from all mammals. Some dog breeds shed less hair and skin, and may be called "hypoallergenic breeds" but they still shed small amounts of skin and hair.
