Top Dog Breeds That Don't Shed

15. Chinese Crested

Spotted skin and spiked hair are defining physical characteristics of this toy dog. The breed has two types of coats, the hairless and the coated or powderpuff varieties. The hairless variety doesn't shed. They have tufts of hair on their tail, ankles, and head. The powderpuff coats are unusual because the undercoat is shorter than the longer outer coat. This coat is genetically recessive. Some people describe these gentle canines as Dr. Seuss dogs because they closely resemble pet illustrations from the books. Cresteds have no "doggy" odor and feel extreme devotion to their human companions.
