There are some that shed more seasonally or twice a year. Most shed in some way shape and form :-).
There are many dogs which have hair as opposed to fur and are considered non-shedding. It is important to consider that these dogs NEED regular trips to the groomer. If you attempt to grow the hair out longer your pet may require weekly professional visits and a lot of work at home as well and usually at some point you have to shave them due to a mistake or they got wet or were bathed or were a little under whether and were paying on their hair too much a certain way. The average is about every 4 to 8 weeks and that can add up. Some breeds can go a little longer (usually a more wiry coat) like to 10 or 12 weeks. It is also important to know that non-shedding means hair like ours and can also break off like ours (some people shed more than others :-). Care, diet, hair type (just like us, some have finer hair or some other difference) and health can be a factor with this. Some breeds are:
Yorkie, Shih-Tzu, Schnauzer's (ALL), Poodle's (ALL), Westie's, Cairns, Scottie's, Soft Coated Wheaten's, Bouvier de Flander's, Lhasa Apso, Havanese, Welsh Terrier, Airedale, Kerry Blue, Skye Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, Bichin Frise, Affenpinscher, Brussel's Griffon (and many other Griffon's), Irish Terrier, Water Spaniel, Silky Terrier, Chinese Crested, Wire Fox Terrier, and those are few off the top of my head. There are many, many more. There are also some breeds that can shed less (care and diet is always a factor) like Italian Greyhounds, Basenji's, Weimariners, and dogs with coats like that but it can get a bit confusing if you don't know what you're looking for.
It is important to note that many consider a non-shedding breed to be hypoallergenic. While that definintly helps and it is best to look at non-shedding or low shedding breeds as they do produce less dander (we're back to care and diet again it really does factor into almost everything), chemistry matters and some breeds may bother you and others may not depending on the dogs chemistry. It is also important to note that if someone has allergies they will usually react, even mildly, in the beginning until they build up a tolerance to the individual dog. There isn't usually a quick fix and no reaction at all and they 9the dog) may also have been around dogs with a lot of dander, only time helps if the reaction is not a danger or severe. There are dander reducing products on the market and making sure you see your groomer at the appropriate times helps. Over time their own individual dog probably won't bother a person with allergies at all but everyone else's still may even of the same breed :-).
