A Maltese? It has long hair but does not shed a lot. I have a short-haired dog that sheds mountains.Now My Gal has Added to Her Pet List ....
A Puppy!
Anyone got any Recommendation what would be Best?
Am looking for a Small Dog tt Does Not Shed a lot of Hair ....
A Maltese is also good with kids, but it requires a lot of companionship. If your child doesn't mind having the dog follow her all over all day and wanting to play, then this is a nice dog. I've always wanted a Maltese but my husband loves big dogs. -
My Gal Would Love to have the Companionship of a Dog Tagging and Snuggling up to Her ....

)
But So Far the Maltese I Saw Looks Real Furry ....
Don't Know if very High Maintainance or Not .... -

Need to brush hair often... but that's part of spending time together? Or you can cut the hair. Maltese dun shed even though long hair. But well... do your own research and consider the others' suggestions too. The maltese is a bad guard dog. It thinks everyone is a friend.My Gal Would Love to have the Companionship of a Dog Tagging and Snuggling up to Her ....

A mini Schnauzer may be good but they are soooooo yappy!! Chihuahua? I find them rather rat-like. Not my thing. Ooops! Chihuahua lovers, please don't hate me... -
Long Hair And Don't Shed Much ....
How I Wish that's My Hair!
Brush Hair is No Problem, but am Just Feeling for the Doggie ....
Won't it Feel Hot in our Tropical Climate? .... Just My thoughts ....
I Got some Hammies at Home ....
Hmmmmmmmm .... Now I Wonder .... Will the Dog Disturb them?

Maltese dun have undercoat. Dogs made for temperate climes, like huskies have 2 coats... an undercoat and a top coat. Compared to huskies, Maltese are actually not very resistant to extreme cold.Long Hair And Don't Shed Much ....

Now that you mention it. I wish was my hair too!! -
Poodles don’t shed, or shed minimally. I’m not sure about their temperament though. They strike me as being a little neurotic.
How about a poodle cross? Like a mini labradoodle (labrador and poodle cross) or a cavoodle (cavalier and poodle cross)? They don’t shed and are really friendly. -

And It Cost .... a Bomb!
We have Been Back and Look at the Poodles on Sale Again and Again ....
They R Really Adorable ....
mini labradoodle? a cavoodle?
Now where can we Get these? Even the Name Sounds exotic .... -
Long hair is not an issue so long as they don’t shed. But you have to make sure you brush them well and they don’t get matted.
Labradoodles and cavoodles are expensive. Because they’re bred to be hypoallergenic, non-shedding etc. There are only a couple of shops in Singapore that sell them.
I thought you had an eye on a border collie previously?
