Lhasa Apso: Low-Shedding Reputation
All dogs shed to some degree, but some strew fewer hairs than others. The
Lhasa Apso has a long and beautiful coat, but the humanlike hair doesn't constantly drop all over the house or cling to your clothes. Lhasas do require regular shampooing and combing to keep their lovely locks tangle-free, but you can minimize grooming requirements by asking a professional groomer to style them in a cute, short puppy clip. Other breeds with low-shed reputations include the
Italian Greyhound,
Miniature Schnauzer, Saluki,
Cockapoo and
Portuguese Water Dog.
