Do you want a dog that sheds or does not shed its coat?
Every hair in the dog coat grows from a hair follicle, which has a cycle of growing, then dying and being replaced by another follicle. When the follicle dies, the hair is shed (moults). The length of time of the growing and shedding cycle varies by breed, age, and by whether the dog is an inside or outside dog.
Many dogs shed their undercoat each spring and regrow it again as colder weather comes in; this is also referred to as blowing the coat. Many domesticated breeds shed their coat twice a year. In some climates, the topcoat and undercoat might shed continuously in greater and smaller quantities all year.
Some dog breeds have been promoted as hypoallergenic (which means less allergic, not free of allergens) because they shed very little or have the same pH as human hair. However, no canine is known to be completely nonallergenic.
