No dog is considered non-allergenic because all dogs produce dander, saliva, and urine which are the offending allergens. Any dog who sheds skin, urinates, or licks has the potential to become a problem for an allergic individual. How do you know for certain that your Dad won't be allergic to the next dog you bring home? You will never know unless you bring them home and "test" them with your Dad.

Just keep the dog you have now and quit thinking about getting another dog.

Dander can be controlled on most breeds with the proper diet, bathing, and grooming. Have you even tried switching him to a higher quality food? If you truly love Max you would do everything possible to keep him.

This thread makes me so sad...
