Thank you GDM! I do so wish, that people would stop speaking of non-shedding dogs. There is absolutely, no such thing, unless completely hairless to begin with.
Poodles for example, have curly coats. If groomed regularly, there is no doubt that the owner would find little or no hair, around the house. If left ungroomed for long periods, it might also appear, that these dogs do not shed. This because the dead hair, once fallen out, often gets caught in the curls and doesn't necessarily, drop off around the house.
This can apply to other breeds too. I rescued Collies for a while, years ago. The long coated dogs, seemed to actually shed a great deal less, than the smooths. This, purely because in the long coats, the dead hair would get caught up in the huge coats, rather than drop off. When brushed out however, it was obvious that there was a great deal of dead hair, in with the new. The worst coat I ever had to deal with though, was a smooth Collie. In spite of constant grooming, that girl left clouds of dead hair everywhere. People often get short haired breeds, thinking that shedding will be less or at least, they won't find hair all over the house. Not necessarily so. I shall always remember that Collie girl. Loved her, but oh that hair.
