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.

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.

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
