One that doesn't shed a pooch that's fastidious about self-grooming. How about a dog that never tracks dirt and mud into the house or that eats daintily without leaving food all over the kitchen floor. In this we have listed the "Top 10 Cleanest Breeds". That includes the super clean dog, the pretty clean dog, and the cleaner than most of the other dog fruits.
Bedlington
Terrier Dog :
While you may think this dog in sheep's clothing is a close relative of the poodle you'd be wrong. He's (Bedlington Terrier) actually close kin to the whippet yes and like most terriers was bred to hunt vermin. This uniquely handsome boy claims his place on the list of cleanest breeds. Not only because of his minimal shedding, but his highly trainable nature, which makes house breaking a snap and eliminates messy indoor cleanup (1).
Shiba
Inu Dog :
The Japanese Shiba Inu is known for his fastidious time-consuming approach to grooming himself. And when he feels it necessary every other animal in the household. Now if he could only sweep floors and do dishes, yes this fox-like pooch with the aloof stubborn cat-like personality. Also ticks the no drool box and is considered extra dainty when it comes to eating and drinking. No flying kibble or droplets around this dog's bowl, the upside to this pristine pooch he grooms every other pet in the house (2).
Dalmatian Dog :
He's big, he's hairy, and he sheds, so what qualifies this larger breed dog for any sort of list that includes the word clean. Well it's actually his coat yes, he requires brushing but his fine super short hair actually prevents dust from clinging and being transferred from the street or yard into your home. He (Dalmatian) also has natural oils that repel dried mud, so he never gets that dirty crusted over patina that most of our dogs do when they roll in muck (3).
Chow
Chow Dog :
Surprised so how did this massive ball of orange fluff and fur make a list of clean dogs. Well to begin with he's an easy pooch to housebreak and that means no poodles and other stuff to deal with. He's (Chow Chow) also the steadiest when it comes to cleaning himself and has been described as almost cat-like when it comes to his approach to grooming (4).
Poodle Dog :
Whether you're dealing with the toy, the Miniature or the Standard Size Poodle. This curly quote native of Germany is a non to low shedder and is even considered hypoallergenic which makes him an ideal pooch pick for those who can't be around pet dimer. So let's give him a brownie point for minimal fluff cleanup and for being friendly to allergy sufferers (5).

Greyhound Dog :
Be honest this dog just looks neat and tidy doesn't. He (Greyhound) maybe it's his super short coat that needs minimal brushing to keep loose hair in check or maybe it's because he doesn't drool or slobber. So no messy pools to mop up perhaps it's that this quiet pooch with the ultra-light frame is so agile. That he can enter a room without knocking things over with a big wagon tail or jump on everyone type of personality (6).
Japanese
Chin Dog :
Now if a cat were a dog he'd be a chin seriously. This pooch rumored to have originated in china but been cultivated in Japan is not only a super agile little critter that can pounce all over your furniture like a cat. But he (Japanese Chin) actually grooms himself in a feline manner, by licking one paw at a time to remove dust dirt and debris then he uses it to clean his face (7).
Basenji Dog :
This handsome looking native of Africa with the super short easy care coat and quiet cat-like personality. Requires minimal grooming which seems to be the common denominator with our cleanest dogs list. He (Basenji) also sports a pair of super-sized upright ears that won't harbor dirt or debris and produce that funky smell that comes with floppy eared pooches (8).
Bichon
Frise Dog :
Even with his ultra-fluffy coat this little kipper that hails from 18th century France is actually a non-shedding pooch. So no cleanup necessary (Bichon Frise) but it gets better because he also has naturally clean skin. That doesn't get a buildup of sebaceous oils and produce that stinky smell so many dogs can experience (9).
American
Hairless Terrier Dog :
Okay let's state the obvious no hair no shedding this pooch was a blip of nature that originated in a litter back in 1972. But that fur (American Hairless Terrier) challenged mini mite was feisty, playful and considered healthy so he was bred to produce more hairless terriers. Today this super active Louisiana native with the oversized and always alert ears is a full-fledged member of the American Kennel Club's foundation stock service that tracks rare purebreds (10).
