There is HAIR EVERYWHERE!!!

We had a pom for 13 years and I swear if you looked at him hard the hair would shed. And he did stink and have to have a bath quite often. I have to bathe Baxter because he is dirty, not because he smells. The non-shedding is a blessing.

Ugh, I hear ya! We had a toy poodle before Tatum so I am used to the non-shedding kind of dog but my sister has three indoor dogs (one is a Great Dane) that shed like crazy. When we visit, it seems like every time you leave the house, the last thing you do is run a sticky roller over you to get off all the hair. She's got those things all over the place - in her car, her office, the table by the door! I couldn't stand it, sorry.

I grew up with poms.. AND yes they shed like crazy . It was my job to always brush them. Brushing did help bring down the shedding. I love my little Yorkie... Itis great they do not have this problem. However, they can get matted easily.

This is a great post! I'm actually making notes right now on what breeds I might not like to own in the future. Right now, I'm a reluctant cat lady, but someday I hope to have dogs only. My cats were such cute babies and they needed a home, so now I have four. I love all four of my kitties, but the hair and litter boxes are a big PItA. My Rottweiler sheds quite a bit, but his hair is very "heavy" and falls straight to the floor(tile and hardwood only) so it's very easy to sweep up. Every time I sweep up cat hair most of it flies up in the air. Don't you just hate it when complete stangers at the store ask, "You have a cat, don't you?"

I just lost my cat of 15 years and believe me I wish I could say that .

I have a maltese and a yorkie. I strategically chose these breeds for companionship, personality and most of all the hypo-allergenic, non shedding appeal. My two boys have tested positive to cat allergies, so I just assumed that they may also have allergies to dogs. And I have to say! Even when my Malt, Ollie blew his puppy coat, we have no hair around our house. My two sweetum's just do not leave a hair trail. When I brush them, some will be in the brush. But not too much! These breeds are great!!!

Peace and Love,

Awwww, so sorry you lost your kitty. I love all animals, and I grew up with a cat cause my parents wouldn't let me have a dog. I never noticed the hair when I had her. I always thought my boys did shed, but I'm realizing how low shedding they are, having Sophia here. I love her and she's a very smart girl, and she HATES the vacuum!! The boys enjoy when we babysit her, she will always be welcome here!

Aww she is a pretty blenheim - I thought about a tri-colored Cavalier before Teddy, but I know what you mean about the shedding!
