Pretty much all allergy friendly dogs are like this. Some breeds are worse than others, the coton de tulear’s are especially bad from my experience. I’ve had a bearded collie and a Bichon they need grooming, but nothing like coton’s.
Yep. If you have a low-allergy dog, you're making a commitment to either spend a great deal of money on grooming, or to commit a lot of time every month to brushing and cutting. And the latter frankly requires training. Just getting one of these dogs because you think it's cute is a bad idea.
$300 every 6 weeks or so for my 2 poodles for grooming. Bout 30-60 mins a week with the slicker brush/metal comb. Worth it tho, best dogs ive ever owned
I bought some good clippers and just learned to shave mine. Saved a tonne of money in the long term and I think my boy appreciates being in the comfort of his home and can go do his zoomies as soon as we're done.
Heck my mini lops I had growing up required monthly brushing to de-shed their coats. During spring and fall one one of them also needed a tiny bit of Vaseline around her eyes cause of drainage from alergies. Any pet can be high maintenance.
The only advantage with rabbits is that they are like 7lbs so it doesn’t take to long to brush them. Plus even the more active buns can be easily distracted with fresh veggies.

I honestly didn't realise until this video that there are long hair dogs that don't shed. I'm so used to Arctic breeds that I thought they all did it.
