Accepted Answer

Trial Run: There is no such thing as an "allergy-free" pet. Hypoallergenic dogs often touted by breeders and more expensive. Unlike cat allergy where all breeds usually cause symptoms, there is evidence that dog allergy sufferers might be able to tolerate certain breeds. Everyone is different however. See Allergist to confirm allergies then "trial run" a breed and see if symptoms develop before purchase.
