It’s true: There are certain breeds of dogs that don’t shed! Although we’re fans of all types of pooches, we understand the appeal of ones that won’t leave piles of fur lying around. Aside from saving you the need to constantly clean up after them, they are also great for anyone who deals with allergies and wants to avoid irritants.

According to the American Kennel Club, there are plenty of adorable breeds that are totally shed-free. Even better, there are quite a few hypoallergenic dog breeds included in that category. These naturally have less pet dander in their coat that can float around and cause sneezes.

You’ll be surprised by how many dogs with fluffy and flowing fur won’t actually shed all over the place. Take a look below to see all the cuties and you just might find yourself ready to bring one into your home!
