It’s a biological fact that there are NO non-shedding dog breeds, writes Melvin Pe͂na. Short hair doesn’t necessarily indicate no-shed dogs, and long or thick hair doesn’t mean a dog is prone to shedding. Low shedding is not necessarily hypo-allergenic, either

Pe͂na provides lists of non-shedding dog breeds, or dogs who don’t shed much. These are useful for clients looking for a companion that can be tolerated from the point of view of allergies or home cleaning. These dogs come in a variety of hair lengths and hair consistencies. Many dogs that don’t shed require regular grooming and maintenance to prevent problems like matted hair and infectious agents that can get trapped in short but thick coats.
