While no dogs are completely hypoallergenic there are some that have less dander than others. The most common of these breeds include the poodle, the Bichon Frise, and the Maltese. I have attached a link to a list of dogs considered hypoallergenic here: http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/hypoallergenic-dogs/ for your review.
