Dogs that do not moult?

[Jan1957]

It's been 3 years now since my bichon died and I think I'm ready to get another dog. My hubby would prefer a dog that does not moult as dog hair makes him come out in a rash. I know about the labradoodle but am not keen. I did love my bichon but he did suffer with severe skin problems which resulted in constant trips to the vet. What other breeds are there that do not moult?

tibetan terriers dont, apparently.

Yorkies don't moult. I have rescued yorkie and his 'hair' is almost like human hair.

Poodles don't moult and are intelligent dogs.

Aaaah!. That is cute. I will find more info about them. Thanks.

This is a link to the Kennel Club page on non moulting breeds.

Be aware however that it is not usually the hair that affects people but the dander from the skin.

Thank you all.

This is from the site of Labradoodle Rescue (yes, they have got their own rescue which tells you something!)

From a breeder of Labradoodles:

"All Labradoodles are wonderful and unique however due to the variations in coat, from scruffy through to fleece, and depending on the generation of the Labradoodle (i.e. whether it is a first cross (F1) or a 2nd or 3rd cross (F2-3) etc .) No one can never guarantee whether a Labradoodle would be suitable for people with allergies if at all!
The Labradoodle is a fantastic cross breed; however Labrador and Poodle health problems can still occur in this breed. Therefore it is paramount that you only buy from health tested and kennel club registered parents. Please ensure both parents are health screened, hip scored and eye tested as a minimum and always view both mum (dam) with her puppies and father (sire) where possible."

Chinese crested. I have one and wouldn't be without her.

My friend has a schitzu (spelt wrongly!!) for this reason...and he does not shed at all! x

Or there's the cockerpoo [variously spelt '********'] It's a lot smaller than a labradoodle. I've bred three litters of them and have got 4 adults here.It's a cross of a miniature poodle and an American cocker spaniel (the small kind of cocker spaniel). None moult.I've never sold any (the first litter was a complete accident, but I left the bitch to term out of sheer curiosity.Only later did I discover I'd got 'designer dogs' but I still wouldn't sell the pups !)

They have proved excellent hearing dogs for the deaf, which is where most have mine have gone,free.That tends to bear out what I've said about the cross.The Charity can't get enough and has taken to breeding its own cockerpoos.

Oh dear, the censors have struck.For the alternative spelling of cockerpoo put the word for a male chicken followed by letter A followed by 'poor' without the R ! LOL

I might have a look at those Fred. The labradoodle is a bit bigger than I wanted but a cockerpoo might be the right size, plus I love the name!

[missrandom]

there was a cockerpoo our dog training classes and it was the most gorgeous dog ever, really cute, quite small, but still a 'proper dog'!

Have a look at the latest post in Animals and Nature - someone can't understand why their cockerpoo is moulting!
