Romeo........

Here is some info and links.......you can make the case that if he has dust in his house then it's not suitable for them either.

The fourth type of coat is the soft, silky or curly, non-shedding coats. These coats continue to grow longer and longer, with a very extended growing life. All dogs (just like humans) actually shed to some degree, but this type of coat has such an extended growing life, without seasonal growth variances, that they are considered non-shedding. Examples of the silky non-shedding coats would be the shih tzu, maltese, and yorkshire terrier coats. Examples of the curly non-shedding coats would be the poodle and the bichon frise coats. Incidentally, if you do not spay your female dog, she will shed about 6 weeks after coming in season. Reason enough to spay!

And lastly, let's look at how we can help manage the allergies - It will certainly make a difference in your success in dealing with your child's (or spouse's or your own) dog allergies if you choose the proper type of dog. But it doesn't stop there. You can do so much more. People with allergies (and dogs with allergies) are not allergic to one thing. Typically, the person allergic to dogs is also allergic to cats, pollens, dust, dust mites, molds, etc. That person's body has decided that all these things are foreign. Counter to what you've read above in preventing the allergies, once someone has developed these allergies, we need to try to keep the home as a sanctuary where he/she can get away from ALL allergens, giving his immune system a daily break.
