Transylvanian Hounds are moderate shedders, but regular brushing can reduce shedding and maintain coat health.

Papi-poos shed very little hair, making them a great choice for those who dislike excess hair in the house.

Choose a Transylvanian Hound if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.

Papi-poos aren't great guard dogs; they tend to just watch without taking action.
