Hello,
My wife and I are looking to get a puppy in the near future. Our dream dog is a golden retriever but due to concerns of tons of shedding I don't think getting one is an option :Cry:
We have done a bunch of research on non/light shedding dogs and have found we are not a fan of those types of dogs (long hair, curly hair). We want a breed which is similar to goldens/labs in size/appearance.
We aren't looking for a dog which doesn't shed at all, we can deal with moderate shedding, we just want to stay away from heavy shedding dogs like the golden.
We've looked at goldendoodles/labradoodles but we don't like the poodle coat and are worried our little guy might end up having one if we go that route.
Can you guys provide opinions on what breeds we can look at? Again we're looking for a dog with similar size and appearance to a golden, that doesn't "shed alot".
Thanks everyone!
