🧽 Dogs that shed little

Breeds that shed comparatively little – handy for fewer dog hairs on the sofa and your clothes. Important: 'low-shedding' doesn't automatically mean 'good for allergy sufferers' – no dog is completely allergen-free. Some of these breeds need regular trimming or clipping in return.
