I want a dog but my mom wants a breed that doesn't shed much fur.

Black Labrador Retrievers don't shed at all.

There is no such thing as a "totally" non-shedding dog. All dogs shed at least a little hair at one time or another, as do humans. There are however dogs that shed little to no hair. This is a list of breeds that shed little to no hair.

Answer 4

Well all dogs shed. They are making great new breeds that dont shed as much. Poodles are a great option, but you do have to get them groomed a lot, so consider that an expense. They are mixing a lot of breeds with poodles now too, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles. They dont shed much either. But I always recommend looking at the pound 1st.
Another thing is, if you feed your dog high quality food, they wont shed as much. Same goes for cats. A lot of brushing and special baths can also help control shedding.
If you did find a dog you loved the did have a shedding problem you can get him shaved. I am a groomer and a lot of people do this.

Answer 5

if you get a poodle, they shed like humans (think of when you lose hair from yr head)

Poodle half breeds are the same way. (This is why they are so popular right now)

1. Labradoodle. First bred in Australia in the 1980s, this increasingly popular dog is a cross between a Labrador retriever and poodles. The size depends on the size of the poodle parent (standard or miniature). Bred with a standard poodle, the labradoodle will probably be 17 to 20 inches high and anywhere between 20 and 55 pounds. A standard poodle/Labrador mix may be the size of a small Labrador retriever. Toy poodles, due to their size, are usually not bred with Labradors.

2. Goldendoodle. As with the labradoodle, the goldendoodle is a friendly, energetic dog. They also go by the names goldenpoo and goldiepoo. The appearance can run from a shaggy retriever to a curly, relaxed poodle. The result usually falls somewhere in between.

3. Cockapoo. Cockapoos (cocker spaniel/toy or miniature poodle mix) are also becoming popular crossbreeds. According to the Cockapoo Club of America (www.cockapooclub.com), the cockapoo should be calm and mellow; sweet and patient; intelligent and loyal. The dog should be sturdy with good stamina and health.

4. Pomapoo. This is a Pomeranian and a toy or miniature poodle crossbreed. These dogs usually resemble small balls of fluff that love to sit on your lap. However, they often retain the Pomeranian's yappiness. Because of their delicate, china-doll appearance, some owners are overly indulgent, which can lead to behavior problems such as nippy aggressiveness. All dogs require some obedience training.

5. Pekepoo. Crossing the courageous Pekingese and the toy poodle usually results in a loyal, protective dog of small size but large bark. They are smart and are small enough for apartments, but require a lot of activity.

6. Yorkiepoo. The Yorkshire terrier is another small dog with a lot of energy. However, they are better off with adults or senior citizens because of their small size. The coat is moderately long and straight, not wavy or curly.

7. Schnoodle. The schnoodle is of course a mix of schnauzer and poodle. They can come in a variety of sizes, but the toy is the most popular. As a toy, they are housedogs that do not require a lot of exercise (although some exercise is healthy for any dog). They are very intelligent and easy to train. They have short, shaggy coats that are low-shed and don't require a lot of grooming.

8. Westiepoo. This is a mix of the West Highland terrier and the poodle, and an excellent family dog. The "Westie" and the toy poodle mix makes for a little bundle of energy that is intelligent, low shed and fun loving. This is a sturdy dog that loves children.

9. Wolf hybrid. In an attempt to own a piece of wildlife, many people have bred wolves to various dog breeds (usually malamutes, German shepherds and Siberian huskies). The idea behind breeding a wolf to a dog was to produce a wolf-like canine with less of a wild nature. Though supporters of wolf-hybrids as pets have plenty of positive stories, hybrids in general tend to be more aggressive than wolves or dogs. They are also more dangerous since wolf hybrids are still predators and have now had the fear of humans bred out of them.

If you're looking for a crossbreed, be wary! Many of these dogs are marketed as being a "purebred" but they are not recognized as such by the AKC, the most reputable registry in the United States. Without a central registry, there really is no way to know if a cockapoo is really the offspring of a purebred cocker spaniel and a purebred poodle – unless the breeder can show an authenticated genetic history of the parents (for instance, AKC-approved breeding documents).

Good luck shopping and we hope you find this list useful.

Answer 6

poodles are known for being relatively shedless. Cattle dogs only shed once a year - which is a lot of fur in about a 2 week period but then pretty much none for the rest of the year. There are no dogs that just don't shed at all though. You'll always have a few hairs here and there.

Answer 7

Bishon Frise, Poodles, Poodle mixes- many of them, Miniature Schnauzers, Pit Bulls, Boston Terriers.
If you decide to go the Shelter route, like getting one from the SPCA, if you go there you can ask which of their puppies/dogs are breeds or mixes that shed less fur and they will help you pick one out.
GL with finding a dog you will both be happy with!

Answer 8

Basically any dog that needs to be taken to the groomer for hair cuts. Like poodles, schnauzers. All other ones will shed on varying degrees. I have a black lab, so I have to disagree with the answer that they don't shed-believe me, they shed a lot! So it's your choice, get a dog that you have to take to the groomers, or clean hair instead! Good luck!

Answer 9

A dog that doesn't shed much fur ,I think is a poodle.

Answer 10

hairless dogs – Chinese crested, Mexican hairless

Dogs with fur which don't shed much dander – Bichon Frise, Bedlington terrier, Basenji, Italian Greyhound, Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Soft coated Wheaten Terriers.

Answer 11

I have a Bichon Frise and she doesn't shed at all - maybe a few hairs when I brush her. I can have a black sweater on and hug her and not have a single hair on me. Plus, they are very smart and have excellent temperaments. Bichons and Poodles have "hair" not "fur" - they don't shed so you do have to have them groomed regularly.
