For birds, I think your shorter-haired dogs will be less alergenic, but unless it is something odd like a portugues water dog I think they all have some... Seems like I heard the full sized poodles (some of which hunt) are better than some breeds.
God Bless,

that what labradoodles and some other hybrids are bred for, something about their hair doesn't affect folks with allergies.? don't know how it works but that's waht they say
Dogs that have hair are not likely to have allergies with. Dogs with fur the dander is what causes problems.

How can a dog that is NOT (lab) allergy free and breed it to a dog that IS (supposively) and possibly get a promise the dog is allergy free. Make's no sense to me! I have seen these dogs and they have more hair than a lab on it's own!!!
Not my choice..If you want a poodle buy a poodle..if you want a lab, buy a lab.
I would find something short haired, have it bathed often, buy a portable air filter system or keep it outside. All dogs shed, just to different degrees. Weimeraners aren't bad for shedding.

This is not necessarily the problem. I'm allergic to cats and it's not the actual hair that I'm allergic too. It's the SALIVA. When they lick their hair it falls off and the saliva is on it. Most people aren't allergic to the actual hair. :)

With a few exceptions for cougar hunting, no dogs allowed for hunting except upland game and waterfowl
Rabbits and coons as well.

Pudelpointers are hypoallergenic. It doesn't matter how long the hair is but but that it is hair and not fur. I have a pudelpointer and she does shed but very little. I didn't care if she was hypoallergenic but she is the best hunting dog I have ever had. Pudelpointers are actually a breed that is older than the German Wirehair and not a fad designer breeding like the Labradoodle. Getting a Labradoodle to be an all around hunting dog would be an uphill battle in my opinion.
Shannon,
Good point, I should have noted that about the Pudelpointer. I really like em and will look very seriously at them for my next. How old is yours now? I think you may have told me in the past and I forgot, what is your pups coat like?

Word of caution if you get a Wiem. be sure to research them first. These dogs need lots of human affection and attention. they will be with you every move you make!!! They will follow around every step and even to the bathroom. If you want a dog that wants to do everything for you these are the ones. they thrive on makeing the master happy.
