You’ll probably have the same experience with either dog…while no dog is hypoallergenic, there are breeds that many people feel they do better around, like poodles.
The best thing to do for allergies is to have the desensitizing shots & keep your home VERY clean, eliminate things in the home that can collect allergens (carpet, draperies, etc)…limit as much upholstery as possible. Wash all bedding, yours and your pets weekly in HOT water, and wash your pet with a pet shampoo formulated for people with allergies (like Allergroom) and use a humectant spray often (like Humilac). Keep the dog out of your bedroom, and definitely off your bed. These things can make living with a dog possible even for people with allergies. I am allergic to cats and dogs, and have 4 dogs and 1 cat…these things really help deal with the allergies!

Hello, we have a Havanese and she has no odor and while she requires grooming to keep in full coat, my husband who is sensitive to cats and dust seems fine with her.
The Havanese is considered a good dog for people with allergies. The information about Pugs does not seem to support them as good for people with allergies, because of their type of coat and skin.
With regard to either Havanese or Pug, you may want to visit someone with one of the dogs and see if you feel fine around them. Do you notice any odor etc.? If you are not the person with allergies, definitely talk to more people with these dogs and go from there.
