What is the best dog breed to get, if someone in your home has allergies?

My sister was wanting to get a new puppy but was wondering which breed of dog is best for someone with allergies. I usually have answers when it comes to dogs. We have 4 English Bulldogs, and have breeding experience, but this question stumped me. I have always thought Poodles were non shedding dogs, but I never had the need to find a hypoallergenic dog. Are Poodles good for people with allergies? If so, are there any other dogs breeds good for people with allergies?

There are several dogs that you can choose from if someone in your house has allergies. Some of these dogs are either hairless or they don’t shed. The American Hairless Terrier does not have any hair, just smooth bodied. The same goes for the Peruvian incha orchid breed and the Xoloitzcuintle (Xoloitzcuintli). The rest of the hypo allergic dogs in the list below does not shed and are great for people with allergies.

I highly recommend the Bichon Frise. I grew up with 2 Bichon Frise dogs, and what's great is they do not shed. Some call the Bichon a "water poodle" as not only are they great swimmers, yet it was a mix between Barbet Water Spaniel an the Poodle. The Bichon is typically a playful dog.
