One of the primary reasons why many people do not own dogs is not because they are afraid of them or do not like them, but because they are allergic to the amount of hair that a large amount of dogs Shed. For some people, their allergies to dog hair can have serious health implications.
However, what a lot of people do not realise is that there are a selection of dogs that either do not Shed any hair at all or the amount they do Shed is minimal. A prime example of one of these dogs is the Poodle.
There are many different breeds of Poodle available, but most carry the same coat characteristics - tightly curled with a soft but tough texture. The tight curls that they possess means that a lot of coat grooming does not need to take place, reducing the amount of hair Shed even further.
Although they are not the most popular breed of dog, Poodle's can make an ideal pet - not only for those with allergies to dog hair but also for first time dog owners, due to their loving nature and their easy and relaxed grooming requirements.
