What breeds shed little or not at all. I am just looking at different breed options. I would like to look at small-medium sized dogs.

Ummm...the only breed I can think of right now that doesn't shed much is a bichon friese(sp?). I think maybe poodles would work, but not positive. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Poodles..and those little dogs with no hair except on thier head and tail, I don't know what they are called, but no hair means no shedding.

Kerry Blue Terriers are non-shedding.

I'm pretty sure that many of the wire haired breeds don't shed much and also dogs such as yorkies, maltese, & shih tzus.

I have an Amstaff and she hardly sheds at all. They have such short hair. They are a medium sized dog. Not sure if that's the kind of breed you like though.

Lets not blame the dogs for a trait bred into them by the evilness of man. Lets understand them instead, so we can provide responsible ownership and give them a chance to show the world why they are so deserving of our love.

Cockapoo's are great little dogs that don't shed! Shihpoo's are also cute and shed very little.

I would definately reccomend a Shih Tzu. I use to have one and they are the sweetest dogs that god has ever created. I would still have her but when we moved we had to leave her with friends, and when we were going to send for her we found out our friends daughter who has down syndrome had gotten seriously attached to her.

So we made a tough decision and left our shih tzu with them. But they are so good, theyre smart, loving and dont shed! they are a long haired breed which requires lots of grooming or clipping.

Hi! I have a shi tzu and they don't shed much. All dogs shed some whether they have fur or hair. Good luck in finding what you're looking for.

some dogs have fur while others have hair.

hair dogs shed the same way a person sheds hair. fur dogs shed similar to the way cats shed.

hair dogs include breeds such as the bichon frise, shih tzu, lhasa apso, poodle, yorkies (actually i think possibly all terriers), there are more i just am not thinking of them of the top of my head right now

hope this all makes sense

Schnauzers are the smartest, cutest, and most wonderful small dogs! I think I'm just biased, but I have three and they do not shed at all!

I have a Maltese and he doesn't shed at all ... but my Papillion-Poodle does, not sure if it is because of the Papillion or Poodle in him.

I have a friend that wanted a dog for their children that have allergys, their doctor suggested the miniture schnauzers because they dont shed and have limited dandriff. Great family dogs too!

Afghan Hounds NEVER shed. The loose hair falls out when you brush them, but never falls out on your furniture or anything. These dogs are good for people with allergies, since they don't shed.
