As you know, all dogs shed some hair, even "hairless" dogs. Some shed less, or have coats that hold the loose hair until it is combed out (such as wire haired breeds and others with double coats-many of the terriers have this feature). Below is a very short list of some bigger Dog Breeds (starting around 50 pounds standard) who shed less than others:

  • Standard Poodle
  • Most standard poodle mixes
  • Keeshond
  • Portugese water dog
  • Bichon frise
  • Irish water spaniel
  • Irish Terrier (a bit smaller than 50 pounds)
  • Kerry blue terrier
  • Airedale terrier
  • Basenji (they tend to groom themselves more and therefore the saliva left on their coats from this can cause problems with Allergies even though they shed less).
  • Komondor
  • Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier

What kind of dogs are best around children?

I know lots of people that want a dog that does not shed, but refuse to brush a dog more than a few minutes a day. There is no dog with short hair that truly does not shed! That said, I have to say my favorite dog that doesn't shed is the greyhound. They do shed some, but is so little an amount it isn't detectable. If you want dogs that don't shed, period, its got to be the maltese. But my opinion isn't the law (or is it?), and you might prefer something else.


Why do locusts shed their skin?

They shed their skin when they grow. It's called an exoskeleton (a tough, outer 'skin' to keep all the squishy bits inside as they dont have any bones!). Because they will increase their size a number of times before maturity (just like humans but our skin grows with us- a locusts doesn't), they will shed more the younger they are. Hope that helps.


What is an expensive small dog breed that doesn't shed or bark a lot and has good health?

Hi, I had the same problem about two years ago. I found the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They are super cute, they don't shed, they love being cuddled, they are just the right size, and they act like perfect angels. I highly recommend looking into this breed. I got my "Cav" two years ago and have fallen in love with him. Good luck!
