There are plenty of low/no shed breeds. Westies do not shed, as far as I know. But, they are horrendously hyper :) Typical Terriers.

None , if have a health condition like asthma you are more than likely limited to the amount of exercise you dog will require , and that isn't fair , all dog hair will bring on your asthma as all dogs shed hard toy breed to large breeds , so why no get a reptile instead

My husband has asthma and our dog doesn't seem to affect him; she has long hair.

My oldest daughter and I both have allergies, and asthma. For a long time, I didn't think it was possible to have a dog without being miserable. Now, I have found that to be untrue.

Unfortunately, there are no truly allergen-free dog breeds. Any and every dog will cause some degree of allergies in certain people prone to allergies and asthma. However, there is hope.

Single-coated dog breeds have been touted as "hypo-allergenic" for years now, and although they do still have dander, the amount is significantly less than dog with a double coat.

Poodles, Terrier breeds, and Schnauzers are some single-coated types of dogs.

bichons are non allergy dogs..i have a son who has asthma and he never has a problem with my two...
Shi-tzu's are similar to bichons as are maltese, havanese and poodle type dogs.. because they are non shedding..
hope this helps.
