non-shedding

Retains its coat

Non-shedding describes animals, especially dogs, that lose very little hair or fur.

Breeds marketed as non-shedding—poodles, bichon frises, certain terriers—are popular with allergy sufferers and people who want less hair on furniture and clothing.

No dog is truly non-shedding; the term means minimal shedding rather than none at all.
