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).

What does the phrase dander up mean?

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.

What is the best dog to buy for people allergic to dog saliva and dander?

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
