Would a dog that is a mix of lab terrier Jack Russell and whippet or Italian greyhound be safe for a person with allergies?

I am sorry to say but 'no'. It's not the fur, but the pet dander off the skin of the dog. There is no breed of dogs or cats that a person with extremely bad allergies can have around. I have an Asian girlfriend (Asians seem to have terrible allergies) and her and her husband own a Border Collie (he sheds to) and she takes an antihistamine if the dog is in the house. She was doing this for about 2 years and suddenly she seemed to get over the allergy towards the dog.
