Do Curly-Coated Retrievers shed a lot?

No, Curly-Coated Retrievers do not shed a lot, especially compared to some other breeds. Although they do shed some, the shedding is minimal due to their dense, curly fur, which tends to trap loose hair rather than allow it to fall into the environment. Like many dogs, they experience more noticeable shedding during seasonal changes in spring and fall. Brushing a few times a week can help remove loose hairs.
