I am allergic to dogs (but am a HUGE dog lover) so started out with poodles (I have a standard poodle) but have also found that I can tolerate pit bull types too - my allergies to them are just as mild as they are to poodles. So long as I don't rub my face in their fur and wash my hands after a good pet/snuggling session, wash the dogs every 2 -4 weeks, I'm ok! And yet my brother has a scruffy GSD/terrier mix and I can't be around him for more than an hour before I get asthma issues. So it may just depend on the individual with the allergies and the individual dog.
