I am allergic to most dogs, including labs, bulldogs, collies. They cause an immediate itchy skin rash on contact. My parents' schnauzer doesn't affect me this way, and I am hoping perhaps the American Water Spaniel might also be a breed that would work for me? My husband desperately wants a hunting dog but won't buy one if I am allergic to it. Does anyone know if this is a hypo-allergenic dog? It hasn't shown on any of the lists I've seen online.

My husband and I adopted a medium haired dog but found we were allergic to it, however we are not allergic to longhaired dogs, such as maltese or terrier breeds. For some reason the shorter haired breeds have a different dander that we reacted with, however it wasn't as bad as breaking out in a rash. Any hunting breed will probably do this to you because of the dander, but if anyone knows if there is shampoo out there to help our allergies with shorthaired dogs I would love to know. We have our heart set on a bulldog.
