well,



I have a bishon frise which does not shed and a chiuahuah which sheds very little. My friend is alergic to dogs and she is not having any alergies when she comes over!

other breeds that dont shed or shed little:

*schnouzer
*poodle
*chiuahuah
*shitz zu
*airdale terrier
*bishon frise
* their are many more that i could not think of right now*

Good luck!!!

I have 2 german shepherds and let me just say this: don't get them if you don't want hair all over the place!

i just bought a furminator today its the best, it cost me €40 pretty expensive for a brush for the dog i thought, but oh my god his hair just keeps comming, are u supposed to keep brushing until no more hair comes? i did it outside,hair everywhere, maybe instead of just letting it blow around the garden i should have used a bag maybe i didnt brush him enough but now half hour after using the furminator cooper is relaxing on my lap and his hair is all over my nice black hoodie. i just think im gonna have to stop wearing black!

Brush a lot but don't brush until it stops coming-you run the risk of over grooming -basically brushing so much you hurt the skin underneath. Especially with a furminator be careful-it can cause abraisions when you use for too long.
I'd brush 15 minutes maximum at a time.

Oh and I bet the birds will snap up the hair for nests

hahaha for sure! My shepherd (my avatar) Mia, she shed like crazy! Saddly she passed away last summer/fall. I do miss her for sure though, she was a once in a life time dog! My parents got her for me when I was 2 years old and now I'm almost 16. I'm looking into getting another GSD this spring/summer.

Currently I have a Border Collie with medium/long hair and as long as I stay up on brushing him (which isn't that difficult), his shedding is light.

I am a regular dog sitter for two Bichons. I just love the fact that they don't shed. But they are so cute that I wouldn't mind even if they did.

my golden is coming into shedding season. it's literally snowing off of her.

she normally goes through 2 periods of extreme shedding a year. spring/fall.

Nell sheds almost not at all. When I brush her, there's very little hair in the brush. As for Chloe and now Lucky my new boy, they shed like crazy, LOL

Charlie sheds just a very little bit and it seems to be just the small patch of white hair that is between his front legs.
