Allergies to Dogs

I was wondering if a Miniature Dachshund and Chihuahua cross are OK to have around people with allergies to animals?

Dogs with hair that grows (& needs to be trimmed) are better for people with allergies then dogs with fur. Dogs with hair include: poodles, west highland terriers, scotty dogs, cocker spaniels, etc. Just think of the kind of dogs that go to the groomers fairly often. (I used to take my Westie about 3 times a year - then learned to just shave him).

It's the dander that people are allergic to. Frequent baths will help. You can google hypo-allergenic dags and get a list.
