What are some low-dander dog and cat breeds?

I have allergies and dogs and cats with lots of dander can make them flare up. What are some breeds of dogs and cats that tend to have little dander? Dogs that don't shed much would be good, too (even though that doesn't have to do with allergies).

1. Hairless cats or dogs.

2. You can actually still be allergic to hairless cats and dogs. It isn't the hair, it is the skin and saliva.

This website has a list:
