Chow Chow. The Chow Chow combines many “clean” dog characteristics, and according to the AKC, owners report that Chow Chows “are the cleanest of dogs: they housebreak easily, have very little doggy odor, and generally are as fastidious as cats.” At certain times of the year, however, Chow Chows shed… a lot!
The pug is a low-maintenance breed thanks to his short, glossy coat and relaxed, quiet demeanor. This breed does not bark a lot. They'd rather spend their time snoozing than stirring up trouble. Pugs are smart, curious and easy to train.
Poodle. A poodle may have an impressive head of hair, but believe it or not, this breed does not shed or smell. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes so you can get one that's short, tall, black, white, gray or even apricot. They are intelligent and easily trained making them great show dogs.

Breeds that produce less oil include Doberman Pinschers and Poodles. Regardless of breed, bathe your dog whenever he stinks.
Female dogs tend to be easier to housebreak, easier to train, and more connected with their owners—but in certain circumstances they can be more demanding of attention. Aggression can be a problem in any dog of any breed, however it is usually more apparent in non-neutered males.
The idea that there's a dog that doesn't shed at all is a myth. There's no dog breed that is completely non-shedding; all dogs shed to some degree. But there are low-shedding dogs that keep shedding to a minimum—and, in fact, shed so little, you probably won't even notice.
