Are there hypoallergenic dogs?

As a past breeder of Wheaten Terriers (advertised by Commercial Breeders as hypoallergenic and non-shedding) and now of Lagotti, I am often contacted by folks who have allergies to dogs.  I always recommend a visit before deciding on the breed.  I have seen cases of folks who can tolerate the Lagotto and one who still had a minor break out.  I think this is true of other breeders as well.

Never assume by any advertising you may see, that any dog is hypoallergenic.  Check it out first.  Here is a recent item on the topic:
