Why no shed, are you allergic? I have a dog that has short hair, she is a boxer/lab mix, and I am not allergic to her. The dogs that give me fits are the pure breds – I cannot go near cockers, springers (all spaniels) goldens, labs, germans…you get the idea. A cocker can cause welts on my skin just by touching me with their nose! And Weims do shed, just small hair…remember the Westerfield trial, they had a Weim and he had dog hair in his dryer from poor little Danielle. You might try a mutt…but if it is the mess, good luck!
