Top Dog Breeds That Don't Shed

17. Welsh Terrier

At first glance, this breed's calm, outgoing, and noble appearance is misleading. Breeders originally developed the Welsh terrier to be a fierce hunter. They resemble a small Airedale, and like other terriers, don't shed. For centuries, hunters chose these dogs for hunting foxes, otters, and badgers in the remote areas of Northern Wales. The Welsh's hunting instinct is a deeply embedded behavior. They'll stalk any small animals, including cats, that cross their paths. If you're seeking a lap dog, the Welsh probably isn't the best breed choice for you. But if you seek an independent, active canine who won't leave piles of hair on your furniture and is fun to have around, this breed is an excellent choice.
