I used to have a Lhasa Apso and my parents have another Lhasa now. They don't shed and neither ever smelled.

You are right that Lhasas don’t really shed. I grew up with one. But they smell. And grooming for them is a pain.

Pugs (my mom’s dog) shed, but they don’t really smell. I’ll take shedding over smelling any day.

Get a cat. That’s my advice

I've had cats as well. Depending on the breed, a cat sheds so much worse than a dog, and with the litterbox in the house, the smell is much worse than a dog.

Fish don't shed...

I agree with you on the fish, but sometimes the tank can have a certain smell to it. Yes, literboxes can stink, but the cats don’t actually smell. The shedding, eh. Just wear the right color clothing and all will be OK

Re: Dogs who don't shed or smell?

My mini schnauzer doesn't shed, but she can get stinky. Grooming is pricey- about $50 every visit, we go about 4 times a year, also if you travel a lot boarding a dog is very pricey. I bought my dog when I was single and had a different lifestyle, now being married with 2 small children I would not be so eager to get a dog.

Mike drop.

Nothing more to say.

I have a shorthair dachshund doesn’t shed but she always skinks! She goes weekly for a bath!

Re: Dogs who don't shed or smell?

There are so many reasons a dog smells

1. Skin allergies
2. If they smell cheesy, it’s usually because they vomited
3. If they smell fishy, it’s probably their anal glands
4. They roll around in dead stuff in the yard or even just being outside - they smell of “dog”
5. You would stink too if you didn’t bathe for over a month lol

Once you get and love a dog, their stink doesn’t bother you as much as you would think.

I have 2 Shedding dogs. Min pin and Rottweiler. I bathe them once a month and they begin to get stinky at about week 3. The min pin has bad breath (he’s 12) and the rottie gets stinky face from the bones she eats.
My house does not smell. I am not nose blind - my sister who complains every time someone’s house stinks of dog (she’s also allergic) and she is always complimenting me on the fact that my house doesn’t smell and my dogs are so clean.

If you’re the type of person that’s gonna get grossed out because your dog smells like outside after he’s been out there, it may not be the right time to get one.

Thanks all! I appreciate all of your responses!!

Re: Dogs who don't shed or smell?

We had a Westie growing up. He never shed. He only smelled when he would get dirty in the mud or rain etc. I think all dogs can smell bad if they aren’t cleaned, bathed and teeth brushed regularly. just like people.

Re: Dogs who don't shed or smell?

We have a mutt, she is half Bichon and Half Toy Poodle, doesnt shed at all and doesnt smell either.

Re: Dogs who don't shed or smell?

I have a toy poodle. He doesn't shed at all. He didn't smell for most of his life, but he's 17 now and has been "old man" stinky for a year or 2. I think it's his teeth
