Have you ever heard of the Chinese Crested breed of dog? Well it only grows hair on its head, tail and its feet. They are quite cute, really small and they become very attached to their owners. Although it is quite a rear breed there should be breeders in the near area that you live. I have seen them before and I want one coz, they are lovely, gentle dogs. Bellow is an info website about these dogs and another link to show a photo. I hope it helps in your decision.

If you want a non-shedding dog, you need one that has "hair" not "fur". However, the pro is that they are non-shedding so there's no dog hair all over the house and on your clothing, but the "con" side to it is that they require regular grooming and clipping.
Small breeds suitable are Yorkies, Shih Tzu, Llasa Apso, Poodle, Bichon Frise, Lowchen...... do your homework on the breed before you decide upon one and be a responsible dog owner. Me? Well, I have two shih tzu (had 3 up to last year) so I am biased! I've also had a Yorkie.

I believe that the following do not shed hair (dogs have hair rather than fur)
Westies - West Highland Terrier
Bichon Frise
Bolognese
Poodles
They are all quite small
Hope this helps - you can always phone a vets to ask and discuss shedding with a veterinary nurse if it would help you make a decision and talk over characteristics with a good breeder.....

When I was young we had Shih-Tzu's and they have hair not fur. We never really had a problem with an excess of hair as I recall. The breed was quite friendly and good with children.

The minature poodle is small and poodles don't shed their hair. You have to cut poodles hair shorter when it gets too long. Another is The Chinese Crested Hairless, which has no hair apart from on it's ears bit it doesent shed either. The Chinese Crested is also small.

Look into the Schauzer breed.After 30 years of having dogs (always mongrels) my two grandaughters were allergic to dogs. My last dog was an Airedale Terrier cross (RSPCA rescue). Died of cancer at 12 yrs old, a wonderful dog, however he moulted and affected the kids. I went onto the internet looking into dogs that do not moult. After research I liked the look of the Schnauzer, they come in 3 different sizes, miniture, standard and giant. 3 colours, Black, Black and White and Pepper and salt.After checking breeders, two were puppie farms, I went to a breeder in Maidstone in Kent to see the 4 week old pups with their parents,fellow pups and grandparents. We decided on a female, kennel club name is Bon Bons Bambino, to us she is Tess. She is a fantastic miniture Schnauzer who is black in colour,now 4 years old, and the grandkids can play with her with no effects.
Whatever you do check out the breeders, see the pups with their parents and look onto the net. Good luck.

Miniature Snauzer, they are small dogs which don't shed fur. They are very playful and are easily kept. If you want a dog i recomend a miniature snauzer.
