I am often asked by prospective dog owners, “What dog can I get that won’t shed?” My answer typically is if you want a dog that does not shed, then don’t get a dog.

If you share your home with a dog, you will have fur to deal with

. . . in my home, it is always present and a constant reminder of how lucky I am to have them in my life.

But seriously, whether it is an issue of allergies to dander or a desire for minimal grooming maintenance and housekeeping, there are lots of breeds that shed less and produce less dander.
