All dogs shed, however, there are a number of dogs that don't shed as much. Poodles fall into this category. Other dogs that shed very little are yorkshire terriers, Portuguese water dogs, and bichons. If you prefer larger dogs, boxers, weimaraners, and giant schnauzers will fit the bill. Airedales and doberman pinschers also shed very little. For a more complete list, you can check http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/lightshedders.htm.
Dogs with human like hair, that is hair that grows out long and silky, include the yorkshire terriers, bichons, and maltese. Other long haired dogs that require trimming and a considerable amount of grooming and brushing are irish setters and afghan hounds, among others. With these long haired dogs, it's important to keep current with brushing. Once the hair becomes tangled and matted, often the only answer is to shave the dog completely.
Then, of course, there are the dread-locked coifed komondors whose locks need to be separated to prevent a massive entangled mess. These dogs shed very lightly, with the most shedding occurring as a puppy.
