What people are allergic to is not the hair itself, but the dander. All dogs have dander but some have it to a greater degree than others. It does seem that those dogs who shed seem to have a lot more dander than non shedders...perhaps because the dead skin cells are pulled out with the hair and are then on the dog's coat.

Read an interesting article on CNN awhile back about how children who have pets are less likely to develop allergy problems later on in life.

There's some useless knowledge at its best.
