I have heard people/families with members allergic to dog dander do really well with a standard poodle. I believe Guide Dogs of America, Pilot and Gallant Hearts train that breed of dog.

> Hi all! For the past few years I have been facing an issue which  at some point is going to need to be resolved. I am married with two children. My current service dog is a black lab from the Seeing eye. She’s a really great dog and my family really love her! She will be six at the end of September. Shortly after coming home. It became very apparent that my two children had inherited my husbands dog allergy. Everyone loves the dog! She’s very sweet and a member of the Family! However, when it comes to the fourth dog in my life, I really think I need one that doesn’t shed. Have any of you come across this problem and how did you solve it? Right now we live off Zyrtec and nose spray. Thanks for any help! I would also add that I deeply deeply admire people who train their own service dogs! but I need to have one that is trained for me.
