Do rat terriers shed alot? are they Hyperallergenic?

Answer 1

I have 2 rat terriers yes they shed. With proper grooming they can shed less. What dog doesn't shed... I use the shedender and that seems to help along with shampoo made to help less shedding. The comb called the shedender works pretty good at removing dead unnecessary hair. But yes you will still have some shedding no matter what. But what I say is what outfit isn't complete without a little dog hair. Hypoallergenic I'm not quite sure with that question. I love rat terriers and would never be without one. They are a great breed of dog and I've found out with the two I have they were very easy to train too.

Answer 2

Rat Terries shed all the time. I am lucky with mine as he is black and tan with only a white blaze on his chest. The black hair does not show as much as the white. But there are piles of hair in every corner of the house that needs to be swept up daily. If you are looking for a dog that does not create a problem with shedding, try a Poodle.

Answer 3

So your "name" is goldendoolden ace. That would imply you might have SOMETHING to do with Goldendoodles? And if that is the case, why ask about JRT's? Just in case I missed something....yes they shed. Pretty much anything with short hair sheds a boat load. Anything you have to groom.....Goldendoodles, St. Poodles, Min. Schn's, cockers etc. doesn't shed so noticably but the hair is not the true allergen anyway. I have been grooming for 15 years and have horrible sinus probs. been to allergy specialist etc...and it is the DANDER. The little peices of skin that naturally shed from animals.....not the hair...so there is your long winded answer!

Answer 4

Let me just tell you right now,all they do is shed.Any type of terrier,you name it,sheds an awful lot.Trust me,I know from experience!!(Chihauhaus are very well-behaved dogs and they do not shed if your looking for a smaller breed of dogs.)
