ALL dogs, regardless of “coat” still have *dander*, given that they ALL have skin and all skin flakes off constantly, creating "dander".
There is NO such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.[or any other animal, for that fact]
The proteins in the -dander- are what set off allergies.
*If* the kid has a "dog allergy", she will be allergic to this dog, too.
The *only* dogs they could’ve possibly considered are the Mexican Hairless and the Chinese Crested...and those only because their skin is so oily that it keeps the dander “stuck on the dog” rather than floating around, air borne ~somewhat~ more efficiently.
The best anyone with "dog allergy" can hope for is *less* symptoms; not *no* symptoms...which is basically saying you'll be a little sick all the time instead of very.
Fish or lizards would be better pets for an "allergic" person.
[wht aren't his pETA pals screaming that he's going to "enslave" whatever dog they get?]
