Not necessarily so.

For example, I'm generally allergic to dogs, but I'm far more
allergic to Poodles than short-haired dogs.

I think allergies are highly individual. It can vary from person to
person, from breed to breed, and from one individual dog to the next.
Sometimes, the only way to know whether or not you're allergic to a
dog is to spend time with it, and even then, you might not have a
significant problem until you actually live with it. I wouldn't even
want to hazard a guess as to what a good solution would be for the
OP.
