Dog Breeds with Low Shedding
Miniature Schnauzer
A very loyal dog but one that grows hair all year long. You may see some loose hairs lying about but not as bad as those seasonal shedders produce. Just keep its fur trimmed on a regular basis to manage that shedding.
Poodles
They are said to be low shedders but like all dogs, they will shed throughout the year. Weekly grooming is the best method to control hair loss. This is for all 3 types of poodles. There is nothing unique about any of the categories when it comes to shedding.
Havanese
A nice tiny dog that is very family-friendly, especially with those families that have small children. Their fun and pleasant personalities make them great pets. Their breed keeps them from shedding a lot. They should be bathed regularly though to help control their fur.
