popular breeds that dont shed alot

I should have been more specific. A LOT of short coated breeds dont shed much COMPARED to some other breeds. It depends on your description of "low shedding" is. To me, a lot of shorter coated breeds are low shedding compared to breeds with dense undercoats. I have had a chow and a min pin before... the min pin is low shedding compared to the chow. Thats how I see it.

It has to do with a dogs undercoat.

"low shedding" is about opinions, not facts.

first off, yeah, obviously a chow sheds more than a min pin (not rocket science). but we arent comparing dog breeds, we are answering which ones dont shed (which are very few and far between). just b/c your pit doesnt shed doesnt mean that the breed does not generally shed. goldens are also a breed that is a shedder, but i have met a few that didnt. doesnt mean that all goldens dont shed. and i have met many labs and pits and gs and mutts of different breeds who were all shorthaired, who can give a chow a run for its money in terms of shedding. also a lot of the times with these really short haired breeds (visla, pit, minpin, ets) people dont notice the shedding b/c the hairs are so short

low shedding is not about opinions, it is about the specific dog. you can tell me all day long your opinion of pits is that they dont shed b/c i have one that doesnt, therefore shorter haired breeds must not shed very much, and you would be very wrong, but very lucky to have a lowshedder when that isnt the norm for the breed.

truth for original poster. im not sure why you want a dog that doesnt shed. but i will say that if you have a problem with the hair, then really consider whether you want a dog, b/c dogs are hairy. like i already said, if you get a "non-shedding"dog you will probably be paying more for grooming (depending on the breed)

Also what you feed has a big impact on how much your dog will shed. Crappy food makes for more dead nasty hair.

(reggin I would take a chow or a dog with undercoat any day over a dal.. a dal you can brush daily and still have a house full of hair..nasty barbed hair that weaves itself into all your fabrics...nasty stuff lol)

Greyhounds can have a variety of coat types. Some shed more than others. The white dogs tend to shed noticeably more. Wally isn't too bad of a shedder and when he does shed the hair is so fine that it's not a big deal. Same with Teeny. They get bathed and brushed regularly and it keeps the shedding to a minimum.

The funniest thing is my co-worker and her husband, who own two labs, are looking for a third dog. Her husband refuses to look at any of the longer coated breeds because he doesn't want to deal with shedding. Now, we have a Greyhound, a Pomeranian, an Aussie and an Aussie/ACD mix in the office at work with nary a stray hair. When my co-worker brings her lab in we have to sweep the office at least twice during the day! But, of course, her husband won't listen to us. Longer hair means more shedding. Riiiiiiiiiight . . .

I agree with you Reggin, Duncan is coming off very rude.......for what reason I cannot figure out
