remember if you get a dog soon, it took me 8-12 months to get 95% relief from my
allergies. This means, you will spend at least that much time with allergy
symptoms, on antihistamines (which stoppped working for me) and pretty much miserable.
There MAY be certain breeds that are lower allergen, this is only because the dog doesn't shed and thus there is less hair floating around. There is still dander on the dog, in the saliva, urine and feces.
