I wouldn't really suggest a golden retriever.. They cause as much allergies as a non-hypoallergenic dog. I would suggest getting a hypoallergenic dog, but there usually small, you could get a basenji which is like the largest hypo allergenic dog i believe.The length of the hair has nothing to do with the allergies..olden retrievers shed a lot!!!! If your alergies aren't too bad, then you might be all right with a lab (they have shorter hair and shed less) But you'll probably want something like a poodle, or a poodle mix that are hypoallergenic. altaira · 8 years ago.
