If considering getting a dog but a little apprehensive
  because of allergies and sensitivities. There are quite a few dog breeds that
  one might consider. Just remember to get the right one suited for your family
  it just should not be for allergy reasons even though that would be the main
  reason. You should check for temperament. Does it get along with people,
children or other dogs and animals? 
Does it need a lot of exercise? How large will this breed get? Once you
do a little bit of research this could actually save you from not getting what
you need for the family.

Here are some 7 hypoallergenic dog breeds

1)     
Bichon
Frise

This breed is a small hypoallergenic dog
that would be a great family dog. They are a breed that is naturally gentle,

  intelligent, playful and happy. They should not be in a household with small
  children as if they become snappy if bothered too much. They do require a lot
  of attention from its owner but does get along with other animals and dogs in
  the same household. As they are a very social dog they should not be left alone
  for hours as they can start chewing on their own skin and fur. They do not
require a lot of exercise.

2)     
Havanese

These little dogs were developed in Cuba
  and became popular in the US during the 70’s. They do not shed much, but the
  coat needs to be brushed out regularly as dander does collect. They are a smart
  and affectionate breed and they are easy to train as they are quick
learners.

3)     
Maltese


They are a small breed that ranges in
size from 3 to 7lbs and also has no undercoat so shedding is almost
non-existent. They are very playful so they need to be stimulated by playing
indoor games as they are an urban dog. They also need to go on regular short
walks to keep them healthy and stimulated.

4)     
Portuguese Water
Dog

As the name implies, these dogs
originated in Portugal and love the water as they have webbed toes so that they
could navigate easier in water. They tend to bond to one family member. They are
very smart and easy to train, since they are a working breed they need to be
busy otherwise they can become destructive. They need regular grooming to keep
coat from matting and the coat needs to get trimmed as it grows all the
time.

 5)     
Miniature
Schnauzer

This breed ranges in size between 11 and

  15lbs and is usually low shedding therefore great for people with allergies.
  Miniature Schnauzers are great watch dogs and will alert you when someone
  enters the home. They usually have an alert look. They need to have a lot of
  playtime and romps in the park. Not good with other animals in the home as they
  have a very high prey drive.

 6)     
Airedale
Terrier

This is a large breed that is very
  intelligent, but is known to be stubborn and difficult to train. They can get
  easily bored with training sessions. They need creativity. They also need a lot
  of exercise and physical stimulation. They are low shedders and grooming is
  typically done by shedding the loose fur as it is removed from the undercoat.
They excel in obedience, agility and protection work.

7)     

Standard, Miniature and Toy
Poodles

The poodle breed comes in three sizes the
  Standard (large), the Miniature poodle and the Toy poodle. The best size to get
  if you have small children is the Standard size because the other two can get
  easily hurt. They are very intelligent and smart, so they do excel in every dog
  sport, great at retrieving, as they are very smart they learn many commands
  fast. Grooming needs to be done every 6 to 8 weeks as this breed is considered
  non-shedding because the fur is not fur it is hair.

If considering getting a hypoallergenic
  dog. You should do more research as you want the best dog for your
lifestyle.
