Small Dog Breeds that don't shed: All dogs shed some hair occasionally, but our list of small dogs are all low shedders. The Small Dog Breeds that don't shed have three distinctive types of coats. The first type is obviously the dogs that have no coat at all, the hairless breeds such as the Chinese Crested. The second type are dogs that have a wiry coat, the terrier group falls into this category such as the Bedlington or the Jack Russell Terrier. The third type of dogs are those that have long, silky coats. The small "Designer Dogs", or breed mixes, such as the Yorkipoo and Pugapoo, have been developed using typically low shedding dogs such as the Poodle.

Cute, low shedding dogs are perfect if you are looking for a breed that does not shed dog hairs about the home. Another advantage is that it is believed that that low hair shedding dogs produce less dander (loose scales formed on the dog's skin and shed from the coat that cause allergies) than the higher shedding breeds of dogs.
