waiting for answer. Would be great if you can take a sec and

What are some dogs that are "allergy-safe" or don't shed?I saw a couple of dogs that are supposed to be much better with allergies and was wondering what are some other cool dogs that don't shed or are "allergy-safe" that I could look into. THANKS!!

all dogs shed and all dogs have dander. there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog or an "allergy safe" dog.
some dogs shed less than others such as: maltese, poodle, bichon, chinese crested, yorkie, and havanese.
do not buy a mixed breed such as a labradoodle or any kind of doodle or poo. "designer" dogs are not hypoallergenic and in fact may have the negative gene aspects such as more lab than poodle, etc. no reputable breeder would ever breed mutts.

There are no "allergy-safe" dogs.
There are no non shedding dogs.
There are dogs that are low shedding (like the list above me), but have to be groomed more often.
It is also not usually the hair people are allergic to but the dander and salvia.
There are many breeds that tend to be good for people with allergies.
The problem is, not all allergies are the same. One breed that many not affect my allergies may be intolerable to someone else.
The person needs to spend time with the breed they are interested in to find out if they can tolerate them.
Also, becareful of the poo or doodle mixes. Just because they are part Poodle (one of the more allergy friendly breeds) does not mean they will inherit that trait. Some will and some wont'. So you may meet one that is ok for your allergies, then buy one only to find out that one isn't.
There are many of these mixes in rescues and shelters because they are advertised as hypoallergenic only to be taken home and found they are not.
