Many people do not know that there is a huge difference between short-hair breeds and dogs that do not shed. These are two completely different things. In fact, Rottweilers, for example, even though they are a short-hair breed, shed like you wouldn’t believe.
In contrast, the little Lhasa Apso, with its really long hair, brushes every little speck of dust off the floor and furniture, but sheds very little. I hope you see the difference.
In fact, there are no dogs that don’t shed at all – that’s natural and normal for any animal, but some dogs shed very little, have no dandruff and don’t have that specific dog smell.
And these are classified as hypoallergenic dogs. Among them, these are the three most popular dogs that don’t shed too much:
The Bichon Frise: The bichons are among the cutest pets, and, while they don’t shed, they do require daily grooming and frequent visits to a stylist to have their hair cut – if the hair gets too long, they may develop eye problems.
Shih-Tzus: It is almost impossible not to love Shih-Tzus. They are so unique, they capture many hearts. They also go by the name of “lion dog”, since they are adventurous like lions. Or so some people say.
A Shih-Tzu may not shed, but it will do its best to draw your attention if it feels dirty, dusty or not well combed. Frequent trips to the stylist will be required (yes, stylist. You don’t just cut a Shih-Tzu’s hair in the bathtub, what were you thinking?)
And, thirdly, the Portuguese Water Dog: This one, too, is a joy to have. With its lively temperament it will bring tons of laughter and happiness into your home.
Muscular and energetic, they need lots of things to do – and they would very much prefer if most of these things involved swimming. They don’t shed, but expect them to drag all sorts of dirt into the house.
