Without prejudice to the fact that the premise of someone who wants to get a dog asking as the first requirement that it be a “clean” breed is almost an oxymoron, here, in fact, there are some cleaner dog breeds than others. In the sense that, perhaps, they lose less hair, drool, dandruff or skin flakes than others.
Even if for us getting a dog means necessarily having to deal with hair and drool, we almost take it for granted, here are some breeds that are perhaps cleaner than others.
Cleaner dog breeds than others
American Hairless Terrier
Quite difficult to find here, theAmerican Hairless Terrier It has the advantage that it does not shed. So you won’t have to constantly brush sofas and clothes. On the other hand, however, he gets sunburnt and suffers a lot from the cold.
Poodle
Nobody ever thinks about the fact that the Poodlewith its curly coat and very little undercoat, is the ideal dog breed for not losing its hair. Plus his coat doesn’t even have a strong dog smell. The only thing is that you will have to take him to the groomer every now and then to ensure that no knots form and that the fur remains in the expected shape.

Basenji
In this case the Basenji It has a short coat that requires very little maintenance: you won’t have to brush it and it doesn’t shed excessively. Furthermore, its coat does not have that canine odor typical of some breeds (canine odor which reaches its peak in some hunting dog breeds).
Bedlington Terriers
Another breed that is difficult to see here, but just like the Poodle, also the curly coat of the Bedlington Terriers it lends itself well to practically non-existent wetsuits. He doesn’t shed hair on the sofa, he doesn’t drool a lot, he doesn’t shed a lot of dandruff, but you will still have to brush him every now and then and take him to an expert groomer of the breed for regular maintenance.
Chow Chow
Who would have thought that the very hairy Chow Chow Is it a dog that sheds little hair? On the downside, however, he may drool a little more than other breeds on this list. And you will have to spend time cleaning the eyes and muzzle, with even a few brushing and grooming sessions.
Japanese Chin
This breed is also not common here. But who has a Japanese Chin claims that it is a breed fanatical about cleanliness, it grooms itself as much as a cat. He sheds little hair, his coat doesn’t stink, you just have to remember to brush him and give him a few grooming sessions every now and then.
Greyhound
This large-sized greyhound is strangely clean. You won’t need to do who knows what grooming, the Greyhound It doesn’t shed as much and you won’t have to worry about it leaving streaks of drool everywhere.
Pharaoh Hound
Let’s assume that seeing a Pharaoh Hound It’s very rare here. In any case, this very energetic dog breed that needs a lot of walks also has the undoubted advantage of shedding little hair and not giving off bad canine odors. It doesn’t smudge much either and requires minimal brushing.
Whippets
If you prefer a mini version of the Greyhound, here is the Whippets it’s for you. Short hair, she sheds very little, does not have a strong canine odor and does not drool. Just brush it every now and then and it’s done.
Xoloitzcuintli or Mexican Naked Dog
Another breed of hairless dog is the Mexican naked dog. Or rather: it has some short, fine hair on its head and legs, but nothing serious. No hair, no brushing. But you will still have to spend most of your time taking care of his delicate skin, including moisturizers, sunscreen and winter coats. But even this breed is difficult to find here.
