Tracy,
Yes, he does shed, but it's not nearly as much as any other dog I've
ever had. He does have a very short coat, maybe 1/2 inch or so. At first
I didn't think he had any sort of undercoat, Boxer's don't, but he does
have a bit of an undercoat like a lab from that side of his genes. Still
I don't think it's enough to keep him warm on our coldest winter days.
He's probably the easiest to groom dog I've ever owned, excepting maybe
the little Italian Greyhound.
