Do you mean pattern-wise, or just built like a wolf? There aren’t any dogs that spring to my mind that would be similar to a wolf that are also non or minimal shedding, as in order to get the coat, the dog must have an under coat that sheds heavily. I believe Samoyeds are considered to be hypoallergenic, but they shed intensely once or twice a year. The Alaskan Klee Kai is a smaller dog, and therefore would shed less, but also would blow its coat.
What floofy said... usually the look of a wolf comes largely from the coat. A non shedding coat won't come anywhere close to that. The closest you could get would be something like a Laekenois or Berger Picard but they still shed to a degree. Just less than most of the wolfy dogs.
Hi,
I was wondering about a white long-haired chihuahua, how much do they shed. Do you know about any low or no shedding small dogs. Size does not matter! 🙂
Thank you,

I am confused - both by the idea of a chihuahua being wolf-like, and why the question is being asked on a Poodle Forum. Perhaps if you explain what it is you are looking for in a dog and why we could be more helpful - poodles are non shedding and have a good, basic dog structure under the fluff, so if that is what you like a small poodle in a retriever clip may be the answer.
Well, when it comes to erect ears it is hard to beat a papillon - unfortunately they do shed, although it can be reduced with regular brushing, and are not exactly wolf like!
I think like would be wolf life looking would have a double coat and would shed, I love the look of the Swedish Vallhund nubby legged and wolf life cousin to the corgi
My parents have a chihuahua mix who I'd have stolen from them in a second if not for the shedding. It's brutal....especially if you wear a lot of black leggings like I do.
