Wanted: Wheaten Terrier
Airedales shed very little as they are a wire-haired terrier. My buddy had one and I have allergies too, but his Airedale never gave me problem in that respect.
I have to say that my rotties shed like crazy, but I try to brush them three times a week and and for some reason, I am very tolerant to this breeds dander. I would say have your wife check out (nuzzle up to) an Airedale and see if she has any adverse reaction.
Be aware that these can get big and are known to get to 100 lbs. but generally are around 55- 65 pounds and 24" at the shoulder as the AKC standard will testify to. They are also incredibly intelligent and were used by the English in WWI as courier dogs. They are world-wide known as the "King of Terriers". They are generally of sweet disposition but a non-owner would be ill-advised to challenge one.
Very neat dogs but not for everyone. Just a thought. :)
