Ah all these dogs are lovely , I have always had animals growing up and now I'm looking into getting a dog with my boyfriend , I would like something with minimal shedding as I have recently found with dogs particularly my in laws Hungarian vizsla that the fur irritates my skin , however my fella loves jack Russell's/ patterdales , what are these dogs like for shedding guys ?! Any suggestions ? I'd have a poodle like I always have but my fella is anti girly dog!! X
Why not get a Standard Poodle, have them trimmed " Lamb Cut" that way they look like a real dog not a candy floss dog. They are super smart, loyal, fun and they don't shed, there are a few breeds that dont shed, have a search on Google, pretty much most breeds that need regular clipping dont shed, hence the need to trim their hair as it doesn't fall out while growing. I think Bichon Frisse don't moult either, defenitley Maltese Poodle and Havanese poodles dont shed, Tibetan Terriers dont either ( they are gorgeous dogs but hate being left alone so you would ideally need 2, they don't do well as an only dog)
Patterdales are fab dogs but can have behavioural issues if with an inexperienced owner. They are very tenacious and need a pack leader that is firm and fair. Jack Russels are in the top 5 breeds of dog that are known to bite, they are also very independent and can be Yappy, they also need an owner that is firm, fair and consistent. Despite that I love them to bits and wish that I could have one.
When you are ready to get a pet, please remember that there are thousands of wonderful, loving and desperate abandoned dogs in the rescue shelters. Most of them eventually get put to sleep if they can not be re homed, every puppy that is bred and sold or given away means a death sentence for someones unwanted pet. there are many pedigree dogs looking for homes too.
