Dogs that dont shed?

Question

Besides poodles what dogs do not shed at all

Answer 1

While no dog is 100 percent hypoallergenic, there are many breeds which the American Kennel Club (AKC®) suggests people with allergies consider. Most of these breeds have non-shedding coats, which produce less dander. It's the dander not the hair which causes most pet allergies.

For those who can't do without the joy of a canine companion but want to keep their allergies at bay, the AKC suggests they consider the following breeds:

Bedlington Terrier
Bichon Frise
Chinese Crested
Irish Water Spaniel
Kerry Blue Terrier
Maltese
Poodles (Toy, Miniature or Standard)
Portuguese Water Dog
Schnauzer (Miniature, Standard or Giant)
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Xoloitzcuintli

The following two websites have some good information on non sheding, light sheders, and dogs that are good for alergies.

Answer 2

All animals, like people shed their hair. There is no such think as a shed free animal unless it has no hair to begin with. It is a marketing tool used to sell dogs. Less mess for people. There are dogs that shed less then others. I have a Fila Brasilerio from Brazil and they are suposed to be non-shedders. Wrong!
He sheds less then alot of dogs but he still sheds!

Answer 3

Every dog with fur sheds, it is a common misconception that completely non-shedding breeds exist. The truth is they still shed only a lot less, the only dog that really doesnt shed is a hairless one like the Xoloitzcuintli (show-low-eats-queent-lee)

Other hairless dogs.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hairless_dogs

Keep in mind hairless dogs still produce dander which causes allergic reactions in many people.

Now there are also what are reffered to as hypoallergenic dogs, they usually shed less and produce less of the allergy causing dander (no one is allergic to fur its the dander) the reason these dogs shed less is because they are single-coated and do not have an undercoat which is regularly shed with the change of season. These dogs still shed but alot less than those with undercoats. Here is a list of dogs that shed less than average due to thier single-coat... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoallergenic_dog_breeds

Answer 4

Go to animal planet and watch dogs 101. They don't give you every breed but I saw all the episodes and they had some that don't shed.

Answer 5

I have 2 Silky Terriers (Sometimes they are confused with Yorkies, but they are a little longer and taller...) and I LOVE that I don't find their hair all over. They don't get a seasonal undercoat that must be shed. Their hair is more the texture of human hair and very silky. (Thus the name.... also known as an Australian Silky Terrier...) This is a wonderful breed for a pet! They are quite entertaining, too! ; )
