Hi.
First of all, why are you posting this message instead of going down to the humane society and meeting the animals yourself? You must be a supporter if you are on this website, so I suggest to stop being so picky as to the breed and adopting some for trial runs. Why does it matter if it sheds? Either way, these animals need homes and should not be excluded because of hair problems.
