bernese mountain dog shedding

hello. i have been thinking about the Bernese as the dog best for my family,but i have a concern. how much exactly do they shed? would they be bad for allergy suferers? and how bad?

Bernese Mt. Dogs shed about as much as a Saint Bernard does. Yes, they would be bad for allergy sufferers, since they shed so much.
This is off of www.yourpurebredpuppy.com :
"6. Heavy Shedding. Bernese Mountain Dogs shed a LOT. You'll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your furniture, on your countertops -- even in your food. Frequent vacuuming will become a way of life. Make sure you are REALLY up for this."

Do you need a dog that is good for allergy sufferers?
