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 3

All breeds shed...it's just that some shed more so than others. Typically you'll find that dogs that need grooming shed very little. These are the breeds that have coats that continue to grow. The smooth coat breeds are the ones that shed the most, and some of them more than others. We have two Brussels Griffon. The rough coat, which needs grooming, probably loses less hair than I do. We run a brush through her coat daily and she's visits the groomer about every 6-8 weeks. Our other little girl is a smooth coat and she sheds some, but not as much as I had expected. We brush her coat weekly.

Answer 4

Okay... poodles shed. Anything that has hair sheds, period. Poodles are termed as 'hypoallergenic' because they do not have the same _dander_ issues as other dogs. But of course all dogs shed their fur! Do you think any hair on your head is one you were born with? Off course not, old hairs fall out new ones grow in, else one goes bald.

If you want a dog not to leave their fur all over your house brush them. Regular grooming helps take care of hair and dander troubles.

Anyway, small, quiet, cheap and so forth? Really it sounds like you want a nice dog statue. Ever dog involves lots of work, if you are not ready for that then do not get a dog.

However, if you are looking for common personality traits amongst different dog breeds a good place to start looking is the AKC website. Just type AKC into a search and you will get there. They have a good deal of information there.

Answer 5

All dogs shed, some just shed less than others. Yorkies and Maltese both have the qualities listed, but you will not be able to find any that are cheap (that will not have serious health problems).

Answer 6

If you want a dog that doesn't shed make sure that you do NOT get a shih tzu because I have one and he sheds everywhere and all over everything. But I love him anyways.

Answer 7

I would proably say your best bet would be to go to your local shelter. The workers there know alot about all of the dogs there. The shelters usally have a website that you can cheack to look at the different dogs or other animals in the shelter.

Answer 8

Hey there,
Well first of all… to be straight forward, TAKE YOUR TIME! DO LOTS OF RESEARCH ON ALL BREEDS! as for most puppies their needs are pretty much the same. However, ALL puppies are different when you really get down to specifics and the very important part is the QUALITY of the puppy. Where was this puppy born? Who was the breeder? And How good was this breeder??? Is he/she a responsible breed?…Responsible, did/do they breed more the one dog breed, are these dogs loved and able to freely move amongst the breeders home? Are the dogs/puppies in pens and cages outside, exposed to the weather elements….NOT GOOD! PUPPYMILL! PUPPYMILL! BACK YARD BREEDERS! BACK YARD BREEDERS! ALL PET SHOPS BAD, BAD!!! All puppies that are in pet shops come from THESE HORRABLE places…Here read more….

What Is A Puppy Mill?
By Shirley Patterson Secretary of the YTCA
A puppy mill is a mass dog breeding establishment that produces puppies for profit by selling them wholesale to the pet industry. Many puppy mills are characterized by overcrowding, filth, inadequate shelter, and insufficient food, water, and veterinary care. Most puppy mill owners sell their dogs wholesale to brokers, who in turn, sell them primarily to pet stores. Because profit, not quality dogs, is the ultimate goal of the puppy mill owner, breeding practices are often shoddy, and the breeding dogs are kept under the most inexpensive possible conditions that will keep them alive and producing.
In contrast, there are hundreds of responsible and reputable kennels and breeding establishments throughout the country whose owners make a profit, but not at the expense of their dogs. Whether these breeders are full-time professionals making an entire living from a kennel, or hobby breeders with 5 or 10 animals, the responsible breeder is as concerned with improving the quality of the breed, by showing or belonging to a breed club, than he or she is at making money. Customers wishing to buy puppies from these breeders are welcome to inspect the premises and in most cases, to meet the puppies parents.
In between the puppy mill operators and the responsible kennel owners are the so-called " backyard breeders" whose newspaper ads dot Sunday papers each week. These are people who own one or two purebred dogs and produce a litter of puppies once a year or so for extra money or " because I want my dog to have the experience of being a mother before I get her spayed or Aunt Tillie would like to have a puppy just like my mine." Like puppy mill puppies these animals are often haphazardly bred with no regard to the consequences and their offspring will most often suffer the same consequences.
As secretary for the YTCA I answer an enormous amount of calls each day. I spend at least half the day conversing with many first time pet buyers who seek to have guidance in finding a healthy pet and also the best breed for their individual life style. I also talk to many individuals who have already purchased a pet and are now experiencing problems be it minor ( Why are my Yorkies ears not standing up?) to more serious health problems and what to do about them since now there is no one interested or concerned enough about the puppy to answer these questions.
A Responsible breeder will give each puppy the socialization that it needs and this requires a great deal of devotion and patience . They are responsible for each puppy that they have bred. (The puppies new owner will reap these benefits.) Their dogs are their number one concern as they are completely dependent on them for their care, training and medical attention. Their dogs are "special " to them .
My own personal feeling is "If you are making money in dogs, you are either over breeding or your dogs are not receiving the proper medical attention that they so deserve.


Sad huh???? So before you buy please visit a few breeders, look at there homes, look at the mother and father…Ask questions, Any kind of question…a good breed should be talking your ear off about the breed!

If the home is nasty and un-kept, and parents are rough looking use your instincts…Say THANKS and leave. Your more the likely right, in this situation the puppies are probably not cared for…and that will cause A LOT of problems, training, poor health, not well socialized puppies!!! TRUST ME ON THAT!!!


I know the AKC very well, and from experience the SHIH TZU or PUG is the PERFECT FAMILY DOG! The SHIH TZU is a non-shedding breed and not to small, you won’t trip over or step on it…and when they come from great breeders, their bodies are solid. Great attitudes, loving, cost to feed is less then a huge dog, the bathroom isn’t huge like a human…unlike larger dogs, BIGGER DOGS, BIGGER MESSES. Then the jumping on you, do you want you rid to be knocked out your sides? And if you travel and need a hotel, you can‘t really hide a big dog? And hope about a big dog in your car? And kids?…Boy, it’s a lot to think about…think about your future home too? Shih Tzus are great in apartments…too. As are pugs, they are just like short haired Shih Tzus.


I’m not sure if I helped, but please don’t support puppy mills in anyway…more and more a closing down and this is good!!! More pet shops that sell puppies are shutting down too!
GOOD LUCK!!! Check out a book store near you, for dog references, or the AKC…the search the Breeder Clubs!

Take Care, and get your puppy from the right place! That’s most important!

Answer 9

Shih tzus don't shed, but just like the poodles they get expensive because they do have to be groomed.

Answer 10

A stuffed dog toy.
