He seems so young for so much dander. I have to get rid of it as this is what is causing my allergies to him.

I have to echo some of the other posters. Is it possible what you think is dander may largely be dry skin? Some dogs just have a bigger issue with it then others. Its also possible that he is just producing a little more dander as well.
How long have you had him? Depending on the condition of his skin it may take several weeks for the salmon oil to take full effect.
In the meantime, perhaps you can find a dander removal spray at your local petstore that would help (you just spray on and wipe, and the dander should come off.) There was a very negative thread about this a while ago, but you might also want to consider a dog grooming head for your vacuum. (Providing you have one with a hose.) They do make grooming heads that are meant to help remove dead hair/dry skin/dirt/what have you from your dog. They do not hurt the dog and will have several vents to prevent high suction. (If anything, many would claim they reduce it too much.) Depending on how scared your dog is this could seriously help you. There are a TON of attachments out there, but it will depend on what kind of vacuum you have.
