What breeds of dog do not molt?

Answer 1

Birds molt, dogs shed and blow coat.

That said... the only dogs who won't shed are hairless dogs. Anything with fur or hair WILL shed that same fur/hair. Even people do it. Double coated breeds are worse, and so are short coated breeds. Longer hair holds on longer, and even when it does drop it's easier to pick up.

AnswerI own a Bishon Frise X and she does NOT shed! There are several other breeds as well such as poodles, etc. You can go onto www.Google.com and ask: Breeds of dogs that do not shed.

If you are asthmatic or have Allergies then it's the dander of the skin of the animal and not the fur so sorry, you are out of luck for owning a dog or cat.

AnswerI cleaned house for a couple that had a poodle. The man was highly allergic to other dogs. There is something about the poodle that does nit effect him. The poodle does not shed. We have a honey bee beagle that does not shed either. As for other breeds, I am not certain. More InformationAs posted in my initial response. Any animal with coat will shed that same coat, this includes poodles and other similarly coated dogs. The difference is that the curly, coarse coat of the poodle will hold the dead coat, rather than dropping it wherever the dog happens to be. You need to brush the coat to release the dead hair from the live hair. They still shed. What they don't do is DROP their coat. Shedding simply refers to the fact that an animal looses coat, not whether it drops the coat.

these dogs do not molt because their coats are of a wool like material instead of fur.

Answer 2

All dogs shed. Some shed less than others, or have very short hair that is not so noticeable.
