Does a Silky Terrier shed?

No, Silky Terriers do not shed much, if at all. They have a single-layered coat that is long, straight, and silky, more similar to human hair than typical dog fur. This type of coat sheds minimally compared to double-coated breeds, which have an undercoat that sheds seasonally. However, Silky Terriers still require regular grooming and brushing to remove loose hairs and prevent matting.
