I was wondering how Jack Russells are for allergy sufferers? Do they produce very much dander?

Jack Russells do produce dander, and can be tough for allergy sufferers. They also shed. My daughter has allergies and asthma, she walked around sniffling and sneezing most of the time. Two of the best breeds to get if you suffer from allergies are Poodles and Bichon Frise. I have heard that if you bathe your dog once a month and rinse it in a half and half mixture of vinegar and water it cuts the dander. Can't tell you if it is true or not. There is also a product on the market called Allerpet. Don't know if that works either.
