What dogs do NOT shed?

Answer 1

ALL dogs (all mammals for that matter) shed. Don't believe the BS about non-shedding dogs.

The so-called "no-shed" dogs (poodles, bichons, etc.) DO shed but instead of it coming loose and getting all over your clothes, furniture, etc., it gets tangled up in the dog's hair that hasn't shed yet. Then they become matted and have to be shaved.

Brush a "no-shed" dog every day and you'll find lots and lots of hair in the brush. Don't brush it and you won't have hair on the furniture but you'll pay your groomer to shave the dog down.

Answer 2

Some dogs are thought to be low shedders-but all dogs will shed. I have had a toy poodle and he did shed a bit (in the fall and spring you could find little round balls of hair). My parent's now have a poodle mix that sheds like mad. Low shed breeds are poodles, whippets, greyhounds for example. My current dog is a Brittany and she has a single coat-so not much shedding except in the spring and fall when she blows her coat. Most dogs will shed more at these times.

If you can't tolerate any degree of hair, then please, do not get a dog. If someone tells you that the mixed breed they can sell you will not shed because it is part (fill in the blank) do not fall for it. If you can't handle a little hair and you get any dog you will be disappointed and likely won't keep the dog. If you can accept that there will be some degree of hair on the sofa-then look for a low shedder.

Whippet, Greyhounds, Poodles, Schnauzers, Basenji

There is a site www.dogchow.com, there is a breed selector program, there you answer some questions and according to the answers they pick the best breed for you. One of the options is shedding, when they list the dogs (there are like 200 breeds in the site) one of the attributes they show is if the shed or not and if they are hypoallergenic. From experience usually short haired breeds shed less than long haired ones. I have a mini schnauzer and he doesnt shed that much.

Answer 4

All dogs shed. Some shed more than others. Sometimes the short-haired dogs are the worst offenders. Double-coated dogs shed profusely. Some (like poodles) shed very little (they matt instead and need regular professional grooming). But all dogs shed.

Answer 6

well, I suppose that all dogs shed to an extent, but I grew up with a carin terrier (like todo in the wizard of oz) She really did not shed...and if she did it was a very small amount. We never had issues of having dog hair all over the place or anything. And she was a great dog, we were ages 4 and 7 when we got her and she grew up with us.

I love my pit and lab, but I must say...now my outfit isn't complete without a little dog hair ;-)

Answer 7

Hate to say it, but just about every dog sheds. sorry! However, I have a friend from church that i stayed with in the summer at a camp, and their dog barely even shed. he was playful and VERY kind to me. I think it was a miniature schnauzer. They shaved its hair off because the dad was allergic to dog hair, but the dog stll looked cute. in fact, i personally liked him with shorter hair! well, i hope i helped and sorry if i wasted your time. i have a boxer that's very loyal and she hardly sheds. those 2 dogs are the dogs i recommend you to get from my personal encounters.
Good Luck!

Answer 8

I think they all do...to a certain extent. But some shed just a little and you don't even realize it. Our boxers don't shed enough to notice and they are sooo good with family and kids!

Answer 9

My Peke sheds a little bit, but not too bad - my mom has a german shepherd/husky mix and when she sheds, you can literally grasp handfuls of hair just by running your hand over her - but my peke doesn't do that. When we vacuum, we do get hair up, but it doesn't come out by the handfuls like some other breeds.

Answer 10

Poodles mixed or pure bred I have owned both. They don't shed, but their hair will mat
so make sure you get a good groomer.
