Yes, all dogs shed, even the "hairless" breeds. But the Maltese does shed less than other breeds. They need regular grooming to prevent build up of shed hair and to keep them clean of dander and dirt. Their coats can mat up easily if not brushed regularly as well.

No, and they require very frequent grooming to keep their coats from matting. It would not be a good breed if you are looking for easy and quick grooming and low shedding.
