Dogs are a very popular choice for a pet. Some people would prefer a dog that doesn't shed, however. There are many breeds to choose from when looking for a dog that won't shed. They don't have to be hairless breeds, either; some breeds even have long hair.

Border Terrier

The border terrier doesn't shed and is an ideal dog for allergy sufferers. This breed of dog has a wiry coat that needs very little grooming. These dogs are good with children; they have a lot of energy and like a lot of exercise. A border terrier is a very affectionate and loving dog to have around the house.

Italian Greyhound

The Italian greyhound has a very thin coat of hair. They shed little to none of their silky coat, which doesn't even need to be brushed. This little dog weighs only 8 to 10 pounds and can be 12 to 15 inches in height. They are intelligent and generally well-mannered dogs, although they are sometimes wary of strangers.

Maltese

This breed of dog is among those that don't shed. They have long hair, which requires some grooming, and pet owners tend to groom the hair very short. The Maltese is a very loyal and devoted breed of dog, and they are also energetic.

Havanese

These dogs become very attached to their owners. Loving and trustworthy, Havanese like to run and play. They get along well with people and like to socialize with other animals. The long-haired type of Havanese isn't known to shed, but the short-haired type does. Allergy sufferers will want to choose the nonshedding long-haired Havanese.

Irish Water Spaniel

This breed doesn't produce as much dander as other breeds. The Irish water spaniel sheds very little or not at all. These are big dogs and can grow to weigh 65 pounds. They are hunting dogs; therefore they require a lot of exercise, as they are very energetic. The mind and body needs to be physically active to keep this breed happy.

Choosing a dog breed that doesn't shed can be an easy task. There are many types of dogs to choose from – some you would never think wouldn't shed. A lot of breeds that don't shed only have a single coat, and you will find that dogs with a double coat will shed considerably more.
