Low-Shedding Dog Breeds

These are the breeds that leave the least hair on your sofa. They are often searched for as "hypoallergenic", so it is worth being straight about that: no dog is truly hypoallergenic. Allergies are usually triggered by dander and saliva proteins rather than hair itself, and a low-shedding coat spreads less of it around a home — it does not remove it. If someone in your household reacts to dogs, spend time with the individual dog before committing, and talk to your doctor.
