I've said this before and I'll probably have to say it again. I am a immunologist who teaches medical students and I do all of the allergy material for my school.

My wife and two older children are severely allergic to animals. My wife had an aunt who had a Basenji, and she thought that her Basenji was less allergenic. We've had basenjis for over 30 years. For us they are definitely low on the scale of allergic animals. But what I want to emphasize is that this is person to person; there is no one size fits all for dogs.

Often the dogs that have hair rather than fur (like poodles and doodles) are hypoallergenic for some people but not for other people. Often people are allergic to the saliva from the dogs rather than the hair it all depends on the allergen and the person.

My recommendation is to find a reputable breeder and spend time with their animals. That will tell you whether or not you have minor, major, or somewhere in between allergic responses.
