What are the dog breeds that shed the least hair?
You don't have to throw away your dream of having a pet at home just because you're allergic to fur, or you don't want to have to sweep the floor several times a day. It is possible to find a dog that has little shedding and is perfect for you. See some options below.
1. Maltese
These are the three main characteristics of the Maltese: small, delicate and refined. They are more peaceful and prefer to spend the afternoon with their owner instead of playing. Its coat requires some attention, especially if you allow the hair to grow, otherwise it won't fall out.
2. Poodle
Despite having a lot of hair, poodles are hypoallergenic, which means they are less likely to cause allergies. This happens because, if the animal is purebred, its fur does not grow excessively. In addition, they are extremely intelligent, active and easy to train. The breed is divided into subgroups, with smaller breeds known as mini-poodles and larger breeds known for their desire to run.
3. Schnauzer
The resemblance of this breed to terriers is impressive, but the difference is that it sheds little hair and still does not produce dandruff, which is the main cause of allergic reactions in humans. These animals have a lot of energy and are recommended for families with young children.
