Yea...Rjrocco obviously needs an attitude check. It would be nice if people could stop with the preschool name calling. TFin04, LIKE I SAID, understands that all dogs shed a little. There was no need to insinuate that he/she is dumb because they asked for suggestions on a non-shedding dog. To me, wanting a dog that doesn't shed is saying that you want a dog that sheds minimally. That's what TFin04 was getting at.

Most short haired dogs, in my opinion, don't cause shedding issues. I rarely see my Chihuahua's hair on my clothes or furniture.

I find it funny that you cast the first stone and then say I need an attitude check... Put away your e-muscles, they're not that big.

I didn't "cast the first stone" as you put it. You called people "dumb" in your post, and I responded. It's as simple as that. You chucked the first stone by attempting to insult people. You judged the intelligence of other people...that's throwing a stone.
:drowning: <--- You're losing this argument. Stop while you're behind.

Good job on taking a blanket statement wrong. *claps* Re-read what I wrote and think about it... There is a difference between "is" dumb and "are" dumb. Apparently you missed that in 1st grade English class.

Keep arguing though, maybe you can compensate for personal issues. *shrugs*



To the orginal poster; I apologize if my statement came out wrong or you took it wrong. I was just making a comment on how all dogs shed. I was in no way calling you or anyone else dumb.

Not to start a huge debate, or anything like that but it is dumb to say no dog sheds. All dogs will loose hair on a regular basis. If you are looking for an animal that does not loose hair at all, you shouldn't be looking for an animal.

I'm going to stop. :deadhorse:
Considering TFin04 said that he/she was looking for a dog that has "no shedding or very little shedding," then maybe you didn't need to say "...it is dumb to say no dog sheds" and "if you are looking for an animal that does not loose hair at all, you shouldn't be looking for an animal." We couldn't tell if you were saying that about TFin04 or just people in general. It was unclear.

Speaking of 1st grade English.... Don't insult my English skills without taking a good look at yours.

hahaha! Good job taking your time to proof read and look that up. I'm glad you found a typo, hopefully it will make you sleep better at night. :thumbsup:

I'm done with you... Fighting over the internet is not only pointless, it's cumbersome. :freak:

 

Um, I actually didn't have to proofread to see that. I naturally see those kinds of errors. I only turn into a proofreading Nazi when someone needs a wake up call.
Who's fighting? This is far from what I'd call a fight. You've been called out in previous threads for being brazen, so this shouldn't be new to you. Hell, I tell it like it is too, but I try to stay away from the blanket insults. I start slinging insults when someone deserves it. I typically don't call a group of people dumb, unless they tell me that they are members of Heaven's Gate...but I guess they are all dead. What a waste of Nikes.....

Nice one smartass... People are retarded when it comes to animals, so yes I do assume people think that there are dogs that don't loose hair at all. I've actually seen the question asked before.

I'd suggest a Wheaton terrier, much like my beloved Aireadles but smaller.

Yep. I have one. Great dog, sheds hardly at all. Mine's about 30 pounds ro so.

 

Another Poodle vote here. Ours just turned 11 and has been a great companion. It wasn’t my initial desire, I probably would have wanted something like a Rottweiler, sometimes my wife is smarter than I am!

Anyway, Astro (my wife’s name is Jane…) is a great dog. We call him the Canine Ambassador, since even people that don’t like dogs like him. Do a little research on them, they don’t have to have their hair cut like Don King, that is up to you. They were bred as retrievers and ours would chase a ball until he keeled over exhausted. They also love the water. He was the runt in a litter of larger parents and he grew up to be 65 pounds (his father and uncle were ~85 pounds).

As far as the foo-foo reputation, I bet it would be different enough that a young guy with a Poodle would be a real chick magnet.

As to the original question, my understanding is they have hair instead of fur. It doesn’t fall out like fur, but it does have to be cut periodically, just like a person’s. This will cost you $40-$60 every 4-8 weeks, or else they end up looking like the attached picture that is evidence that their hair definitely does not fall out!

 

Another really neat dog that won't shed is an Irish Water Spaniel. Great hunting and trials dog, very playful. Looks sort of like a poodle but with a rat tail. Chockolate brown in color. Look at www.akc.org

Poodles, a labradoodle (sheds a little) Schnauzers, Bichon Frises or a mix.

We happen to have a Schnauzer-poodle mix and a Bichon-poodle mix....though the closest they get to protecting me is guarding the area between my legs....they are great intruder alarms however

go with a standard poodle and get it a manly haircut

Poodles were German war dogs...

My lap is usually very well protected...

Yes, she has a fluffy pink bed that she sleeps in...but she has to have some place to store and guard all my socks...


My brother has a standard poodle...I would not want to make that dog mad...
