Do you love dogs yet dread the constant cleaning that comes with shedding? Countless people can relate.
But while every dog owner knows a little fur is inevitable, certain breeds are known for being lower-shedding.
Whether you suffer from allergies or just want to reduce the time you spend cleaning up hair around your living space, here are 12 low-shedding dog breeds that'll make great additions to your household (without the mess).
Scroll to find out the best low-shedding dog breeds!
1. Poodles
Poodles are known for their hypoallergenic coats, so they shed very little and are ideal for anyone seeking a low-shedding pet.
This breed also comes in three sizes, the Standard, Miniature, and Toy, and is easy to train due to its high intelligence. Just keep in mind that, regardless of their size, all Poodles require regular grooming to keep their curly coats free from mats and tangles.
2. Bichon Frise
Just like the Poodle, the Bichon Frise is another breed that features a hypoallergenic coat. These dogs are tiny, cheerful, and popular due to their friendly nature.
Plus, they're known for being very smart and trainable, making them great family pets that keep clean up around the house to a minimum.
3. Labradoodle
Originally bred as a hypoallergenic service dog, the Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle.
These dogs inherited low-shedding coats, thanks to Poodle parents, and are favored for their friendly and affectionate nature. They thrive when given plenty of exercise and early socialization.
4. Maltese
Malteses are adorably tiny and cuddly hypoallergenic dogs prized for their silky white coats. They make playful and loving companions, but owners have to stay on top of their grooming routine.
If you prefer that your Maltese has a longer coat, regular maintenance is important to prevent any mats. Otherwise, keeping a shorter "puppy" cut can make grooming much easier.
5. Yorkshire Terrier
Affectionately referred to as "Yorkies," Yorkshire Terriers are little hypoallergenic dogs with big personalities. They crave attention and are very loyal to their owners.
These pups also shed minimally and can adapt well to a range of households, from cozy apartments to spacious homes.
6. Schnauzers
You may not know that there are three Schnauzer breeds, including the Miniature Schnauzer, the Standard Schnauzer, and the Giant Schnauzer. Despite their size differences, all three are low-shedding.
Miniature Schnauzers are revered for their intelligence and typically weigh between 10 and 20 pounds. Standard Schnauzers, on the other hand, are also known for their smarts and enjoy long walks and mental stimulation. They just can weigh as much as 45 pounds.
Giant Schnauzers can reach up to 85 pounds and are some of the largest hypoallergenic dogs. To keep these pups happy, give them a lot of playtime and exercise.
7. Havanese
Paul Groom Photography Bristol
The Havanese is a little, playful breed that's popular for its charming personality and silky coat that doesn't shed much.
These furry friends adore human interaction, making them devoted companions, and are considered low-shedding. All they need is some regular grooming to keep their coat smooth and tangle-free.
8. Italian Greyhound
Italian Greyhounds are sleek and elegant, featuring short, smooth coats that barely shed. Contrary to what their graceful appearance might suggest, these dogs are also very playful, affectionate, and sensitive.
If you're searching for a sophisticated yet loving dog that doesn't require a lot of cleanup, this breed may be your perfect match.
9. Portuguese Water Dog
Portuguese Water Dogs were first bred to work alongside fishermen. Today, they're regaled for their energy and athleticism, making them a great option for active families.
These dogs also have hypoallergenic fur and don't shed much. If you're an outdoor enthusiast who wants to maintain a fur-free home, the Portuguese Water Dog might be the pet for you.
10. Basenji
This unique, cat-like breed is famous for its barkless nature. It actually makes a distinctive "yodel" sound!
Basenjis are very intelligent, playful, and sometimes mischievous, with a high prey drive. Additionally, they don't shed a lot, have minimal grooming requirements, and are often free from usual canine odors.
11. Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu was initially bred as a companion pet in China and has remained a famous lap dog to this day. They love human company and usually stick to their owners' sides.
But while they're low-shedding, these dogs will still grow a long, luxurious coat that requires regular grooming. Otherwise, you can keep it trimmed shorter for easier maintenance.
12. Brussels Griffon
Lastly, the Brussels Griffon is a small breed with a rough coat that's non-shedding and simple to groom. That's why these dogs are stellar choices for anyone seeking a low-maintenance pet.
In terms of temperament, Brussels Griffons are smart, affectionate, sensitive, and quite cuddly.

A fresh coat of paint on your front door is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to boost your curb appeal and try something different with the exterior of your home. After all, it's something you see every day and costs just the price of a gallon of paint to refresh. According to Zillow, front door paint colors can impact the number of offers and how long your home sits on the market. Darker colors tend to inspire higher resale value, but while you live and enjoy your home go with a color that you love.
Here are 15 inspiring paint colors for your front door.
Clare Paint
Earthy green paint colors, like Clare Paint Daily Greens, are becoming the new neutral for front doors. They give a natural, welcoming vibe and pair beautifully with brick, wood, or stone. Choose natural shades like olive, sage, and moss for timeless curb appeal.
Blue door colors like Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines in Deep Denim Blue or Benjamin Moore in Prussian Blue will always be classic in this inviting Mediterranean blue hue. Refreshing your shutters if you have them is also a good idea!
Deep reddish browns are also giving front doors a burst of color. Try Benjamin Moore's Cottage Red or Backdrop's Self Portrait for this regal look.
Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore's Aegean Teal on the front door is a lovely compliment to the soft blue-green Gray Cashmere 2138-60 on the interior walls.

Lean into more of a pretty sage color with Farrow & Ball's Vert de Terre. Stunning and soothing!
Behr
Go for a dramatic and refined look with Behr's Black Evergreen (MQ6-44). Think shaded groves with its deep dark green color.
@laurastephensid via Farrow & Ball
Make a statement with a sunny yellow, such as Farrow & Ball Babouche.
Sherwin Williams
Here's another earthy green that really stands out in the best way: Sherwin Williams Kale Green.

Pink is always a fun way to express yourself. It looks especially good in desert places like Palm Springs. Benjamin Moore's soothing Georgia Pink 2092-60 is the perfect pick of pink!

As much as we'd love to hear that BridgertonSeason 4 is releasing earlier than next year, we'll have to settle for as many teasers and first looks as we can get for now! Fans already know Yerin Ha will be stepping into Sophie Baek's shoes alongside Luke Thompson as Benedict, but Netflix finally released something that'll keep us satiated for a while. We can't promise much else — except these two are clearly going to make our hearts race when they're finally on-screen.
Here's the official Bridgerton Season 4 first look with Sophie & Benedict!
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Benedict's always been one of the lighthearted Bridgerton siblings, but Season 3 showed up just how, uh, free he can be. While he and Eloise did discuss their mutual feelings of wanting to explore life, it seems our loving bachelor is set on finding love in unexpected places.
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Benedict may not have fallen in love with Tilley, but it appears he's head over heels for Sophie and we think it's adorable. But, there's one glaring problem: Sophie's a maid who has plenty of secrets.
Never before have any of the Bridgerton children gotten romantically involved with someone who's in another social class, so this already sounds scandalous.
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Ah, but what will the watchful Queen Charlotte think? Remember, she was certain she was going to expose and punish Lady Whistledown before Penelope's moving speech got her to change her mind. We can only guess how she'll feel about the Bridgertons once she learns of Benedict and Sophie's forbidden romance.
In the meantime, we're already dreaming up as much as we can about this exciting season with these pictures! Oh, and did we mention there's a video too?!
Watch The 'Bridgerton' Season 4 Sneak Peak Here!
Seriously...season 4 can't come fast enough!!!
We can't wait to see how Benedict and Sophie's love shakes up the Ton in Season 4. We're sure Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury will have much to discuss!
Lately, we don't have to look far for doomsday news or potential policies that make us feel like a dystopian future will soon be our reality. Although we like to joke about it, we've seen pop culture seemingly predict our current societal and political landscape via everything from episodes of the The Simpsons to the books we've read over the years, wondering how these fictitious communities could experience horrible environments at the hands of others' decisions.
Since art is often bred from very real feelings about history's patterns, we think it's time to open a few relatable books. In our eyes, unprecedented times call for reading thought-provoking work that may seem bleak, but offers hope set in motion by one person's courage in the face of oppression and fear. These are the best dystopian books you should read in 2025.
Here are 15 dystopian books to read if you're tired of doom scrolling on social media.
Amazon
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Guy Montag's job as a fireman isn't like what you or I are used to. Instead of saving the lives of those affected by fires, he and his co-workers set them because it's a crime to have books in one's home. He does his job well and comes home to the passionless marriage he has with his wife Mildred, running on a mindless loop. It isn't until he meets a teenager named Clarisse that he begins seeing the world through her eyes and it makes him uncomfortable.
Underneath that discomfort is the knowledge that he's been keeping a secret all along and will have to decide which side of history he wants to be on.
Amazon
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Even if you've never read the book or watched the hit TV series, chances are you've heard about The Handmaid's Tale. It's ruffled feathers to the point it's made it to the banned books list, but author Margaret Atwood's message is loud and clear: women's reproductive rights could become weaponized.
She begins her tale in the aftermath of a second Civil War that's dismantled "normal" America. As such, the Republic of Gilead has been set in place that's meant to remind men and women how things used to be. With men holding positions of power and fertile women being enslaved to help regrow the population comes a sordid tale of oppression and abuse.
However, one maid's memories and desire to break free from her horrible role encourages her to stage one of the biggest coups.
Amazon
The Power by Naomi Alderman
The Power places decisions in the hands of young girls who aren't typically afforded it. Readers will meet several characters like a wealthy Nigerian boy and a tough-as-nails girl, but what's shocking is what happens when something ignites teenaged girls with something powerful. If they choose, these girls can cause great harm to others or even end their lives.
It's a far cry from the idea that young girls are weak and powerless in a world that seeks to tame them.
Amazon
Chain-Gain All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" are a part of Criminal Actional Penal Entertainment, aka CAPE, as prisoners. They've worked their way up the hierarchy of the Chain-Gain All-Stars and are the reigning champs as they fight until the death to earn freedom.
However, there's a catch: one of them will be heavily discouraged from leaving with every hardship they face. It seems greed has no bounds and will make sure to keep viewers invested.
Amazon
American War by Omar El Akkad
Sarat Chestnut was a little girl when the another Civil War occurred in the year 2074, but she was aware enough to understand the criminalization of oil. Also, she's watched half of Louisiana succumb to being under sea level. Once her father loses his life and her family's driven to Camp Patience, she surrenders to a new normal. However, there's a false underbelly of the Camp and it works its magic on Sarat.
Before long, she's become a weapon for a war that'll change the lives of everyone.
Amazon
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

For main character Marcos, life has dealt him a set of terrible cards. He's separated from his wife and watching his father's health deplete quicker than he can blink his eyes. There's also the sickening fact that he's a part of the "Transition" that helps process specialized human meat.

Truthfully, they're waiting for the right time to rebel against their conditions because they know the spoiled citizens of Prospera will be granted multiple chances at life.
