Medium-sized Dog Breeds That Shed Very Little

All dogs, whether long-haired or short-haired breeds have shiny, beautiful coats but you may not think that your pet's fur looks so wonderful when he or she is having a bad shedding episode :-P If you are looking for a medium-sized dog that does not shed much, check out this list of light-shedding medium dog breeds below (in alphabetical order):
  1. Airedale Terrier
  2. Basenji
  3. Bedlington Terrier
  4. Boston Terrier
  5. Kerry Blue Terrier
  6. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
  7. Poodle (Standard Poodle)
  8. Portuguese Water Dog
  9. Puli
  10. Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
  11. Standard Schnauzer
  12. Tibetan Terrier
  13. Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
Note: Although, these dogs shed very little, some of them (for example, the Puli) will require considerable grooming to keep their coats clean and healthy!

Yes, Standard Poodles don't shed technically. The hair doesn't fall out of their coat. It needs to be brushed out. They are pretty much hypoallergenic and don't smell.

I have a website all about Standard Poodles if you'd like to check it out:

We have LABS that don't shed. Really. Since they've been on Dinovite we don't have to sweep and vacuum constantly! It's great.
