What you are looking for is known as "hypoallergenic dog breeds." All dogs produce dander -> allergins, but hairless dogs and single coat dogs will produce less.

From the AKC's list as of 2005. Interestingly, this list does change over time.
-- Bedlington Terrier
-- Bichon Frise
-- Chinese Crested
-- Irish Water Spaniel
-- Kerry Blue Terrier
-- Maltese
-- Poodles (Toy, Miniature or Standard)
-- Portuguese Water Dog
-- Schnauzer (Miniature, Standard or Giant)
-- Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
-- Xoloitzcuintli

It is very try that some people can be deadly allergic to cats, but not to dogs at all. Allergies are specic to the pet's dander.
