What type of dogs do not shed?

Question: What type of dogs do not shed?

Answer: Single-coated dog breeds shed the least amount of any dog breed out there, and hairless dog breeds do not shed at all. Don't be fooled into thinking that short hair automatically means less shedding! Short-haired dogs shed just as much, sometimes more than long-haired breeds. It's the coat type, not the coat length that makes the difference.

Poodles, Terrier breeds, and Schnauzers are some single-coated types of dogs.
