My mom is actually allergic to cats and dogs, but her dog allergy is mild enough that we were able to keep our Cocker Spaniels around. Fortunately for animal lovers, there are breeds of cats and dogs that are recommended for allergy sufferers. When the Obama family got Bo, a Portuguese Water Dog, a lot of people thought this breed of dog was hypoallergenic and a good choice for his allergy-suffering daughters. For those who want to get a dog that have a pet allergy, vets will often suggest breeds of dogs that shed little or have a short hair coat because they are less likely to trigger a reaction.
