Do long-haired Chihuahuas shed?

Yes, long-haired Chihuahuas do shed , though not excessively. They tend to shed a moderate amount year-round, with possible increases during seasonal changes in the spring and fall. Their longer coats may make the shedding more noticeable, but regular brushing — about two to three times a week — helps manage loose hairs and keeps their coats healthy and tangle-free.

Even though they have soft, flowing coats, long-haired Chihuahuas don’t have an undercoat as thick as some other breeds, which helps keep shedding manageable. With consistent grooming, their shedding is usually easy to keep under control.
