Answer 2

None of them "moult" because nearly ALL of them shed.Try a Chinese crested, no fur to shed. I hear poodles don't, but who wants a walking brillo pad? *okay, so I have seen a poodle that I liked, but that was a standard and you see more mini and toys out there*

EDIT
ALL dogs have "hair" like ours. We just call the stuff on our heads hair and the stuff all over them fur to differentiate. It's the same stuff, which is keratin. Actually, it is also what our nails are made of, and bird feathers, and scales... Either way, we don't reffer to the hair on our arms as fur, but it doesn't grow out of control. Hair is simply people fur.

Again with the EDIT
I stand corrected on the moulting. I am uncultured *who'd of thunk? i've lived everywhere from turkey to hawaii, you'd think i'd know more of the different lingos* but I s'pose that is forgivable. life in middl-of-nowhere Florida can and does wipe out the smarts of geneuses, and all I was when I moved here was intelegent and emotionally unstable. It's the last part that was my down fall, added to my piercings and biggots running the highschool.

As the local stereotypical black girls would say, "Mah bad."

Answer 3

The only ones I know are those little hairless things, cant remember what they called, and a poodle, If you get a standard poodle they make excallent house pets, dont moult, are bred originally for hunting, and make a very good dog for guarding your home. Sometimes they can be worse that a doby or rottie. But gentle with children and friends.

Answer 4

All dogs shed. Despite what many people say with "hypo-allergenic" poodle mix dog.

The only dog that does not shed (because the dog does not have hair) is the American Hairless Terrier.

"Shedding is a natural loss of hair in dogs that allows the new coat to come in. All dogs shed; some more then others. There is no such thing as a non-shedding dog, unless you have a completely hairless dog, such as the American Hairless Terrier, however shedding varies greatly from breed to breed. "

"The majority of breeds that are considered "very light shedders" are usually the breeds that need to be clipped, stripped and/or scissored. Because their hair falls out at a much slower rate, if they are not properly groomed they are prone to matting."-The "hypo-allergenic" dog (poodle mixes).

Answer 6

There are breeds that are known to be 'hypoallergenic', that do not shed nor do they have dander.

Bichon Frise, Poodles, Maltese are some. These dogs do not have fur , they have hair, like yours and mine. Their coats require regular brushing and trimming and washing, as do our hair, and if this is not done their hair will mat up (like dreds, and will twist until the skin is pinched and pulled) and this is painful to the dogs.

Shedless dogs may mean less cleaning up in your home but it does mean higher maintenance and frequent grooming.

Please contact breeders of your choice before adopting, there is much information you will need other than whether a dog sheds or not and these people are willing to tell you all the good and bad information about a breed.

A reputable breeder will not want to 'sell' you a dog. They will interview you and screen you as a candidate to accept one of their dogs and will always put a contract in place which requires you to return the dog to them should you ever choose to let it go.

Answer 7

Bichons, poodles, shih tzus, lhasas. There are a few more breeds out there too. Do a search of hypo-allergenic breeds. These dogs do not produce an undercoat, but rather lose hair like a human does. Most of them are long coated breeds that require regular visits to a groomer.

Answer 8

Yorkshire terriers dont moult at all!!

I have 2

Answer 9

all dogs moult but some more than others.if your thinking of getting a dog then ask a vet or p.d.s.a for advice on this.

tip tho: small dogs hair is harder to remove from clothing and carpets and armchairs as they have brissley hair and it tends to get right in the fibres..of your items

good luck..

Answer 10

I have a Lhasa Apso puppy and so far her hair loss has been non existent. I have been told by a vet and a groomers that she will lose little to no hair and if she does it will be very minimal.
