All dogs shed hair, even the "hairless" breeds. They must shed their coats to make room for new fur. Some dogs shed less, or have shorter or less hair, or they shed the same amount but their wiry or double coat holds the hair that is shed until you brush it out with regular grooming. That leaves less hair behind on people, clothing, and houses.
Don't believe all that people say when they advertise a certain breed as being non shedding, is not true. That would be like your keeping the same exact hairs you were born with for life and never losing any, it is a physical impossibility, individual hairs do not last forever.
Some Dog Breeds that fit one or more of the "low shedding" categories above are: Airedale Terrier, Border Terrier, Chinese Crested, Lakeland Terrier, Miniature Pinscher, Puli, Komondor, Welsh Terrier, Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Short Haired Dachshund, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Welsh Corgi, and Toy Poodle.
If you are asking because you or someone else you know has Allergies or Asthma, then it's not the fur/hair, it's the dander from the skin of the dog that usually triggers the allergic response (and sometimes the proteins in saliva or urine cause the allergic responses). See related questions below about dander and allergies.

Hair cells on all mammals grow to a particular length depending on where the cell is on the body, then the hair shaft falls out and a new hair grows.
On long-haired dogs the hair grows longer before it is shed than it does on short-haired dogs. So the number of hairs shed will be more in short haired dogs over a given period of time, although the long hair piles up more and is more obvious.
Dogs that are brushed and washed often, will have loose or shed hairs removed during this grooming, so less hair tends to be shed in unwanted places at other times when proper grooming is done. The hair on regularly clipped dogs gets cut to a short length before it is shed, so is less noticeable, as is the shed hair from a naturally short-haired dog.

It's a hard question to answer, because all dogs shed hair or fur to some extent, some more than others.
Mostly dogs with hair, with curly or corded coats or very short coats shed the least. Toy dogs like Yorkshire terriers and the Maltese are often said not to shed much, but this may be because they are so small. Also, dachshunds and greyhounds, with very short hair, appear not to shed much.
In my opinion, the two breeds with the best personalities and the fewest health problems, which shed the least, are the Portuguese water dog and the French poodle (toy, miniature and standard sizes). Actually, these dogs do shed, but their curly hair falls onto their skin, not on your carpet or furniture. That's a drawback, in a way, since accumulated hair can pull on the dog's skin and damage it. Therefore, it's necessary to take these dogs to the groomer's once a month or so to have their hair cut. If you can afford this expense, then it's hard to beat the standard poodle for intelligence, loyalty, affection and beauty.
I have a poodle they are wonderful and they don't shed also labradoodles don't shed
a great dane,bloodhound,dalmatian and doberman
There are many types of dog breeds that do no shed. These dogs are considered to be hypoallergenic because they do not shed. One example would be a Maltese.
shedding actually depends on the breed of dog. for instance, some breeds do not shed at all.
No dog is completely hypoallergenic, not even the poodle. However, due to the non- shedding fur and low amount of dander, Shepadoodles are less likely to be allergenic than shedding breeds.

No, all dogs shed hair, even the "hairless" breeds. However, Poodles are being cross-bred with other breeds of dogs since Poodles' coats are very low shedding. Some results of the cross breeding that people prefer for the low amount of shedding are the Cocka-Poo and Labradoodle. Labradoodles are also said to be a great pet for those who have allergies.
All non-shedding dogs are great and cute! One of my all-time favorite non-shedding dog is a poodle. My family is hypoallergenic so we got a poodle, it is smart, well behaved and too cute!
No, the Pug sheds constantly, if not every day.
