TSE has used Boxers for people who have allergies. You do have to wait
longer though.

Hi Liz,
I don't mind sharing it all. The reason I decided to switch schools wasn't
really a choice I felt that I had. In other words, my husband is highly
allergic to shorthaired double coated dogs, so I retired my dog last year
due to his anxiety toward cars, and found out that the Seeing Eye doesn't
really train any allergy friendly dogs. Even though poodles have some
dander, they don't shit as normal dogs do. And this is one of the very few
schools that trains standard poodles or any other allergy friendly dog for
that matter. Any other school I looked at either didn't offer training in my
area or head an  even longer waiting list. LOL. I have heard both good and
bad about Each  school that I researched.
That is pretty much it in a nutshell.
