How Much Does YOUR Dog Shed?

TegansMyBoy · 12-16-2009, 02:13 AM

My boyfriend's step dad bought a furminator for his Maltese (? i don't think he knew what it was! they don't shed! lol) so Tegan got it as a hand me down! Works wonders when I actually use it!! hahaha
And we have a brush for the couch for the cat and doggie hair... but we don't use it much- unless the landlord or our parents are coming over...

hahaha that's hilarious...couldn't imagine trying to brush my bichon with a shedding tool!

don't know what's easier dealing with, though--lots of grooming for those long-haired non-shedding breeds or low-maintenance shedding coats!

the collar is a cool idea, but you have to pull on it kind of hard to get the handle up and crios said the the handle breaks pretty easily...

I only use the harness for in the car. I figured the little retractable thing sucked. That leash is so awesome because they can't dart out when I open the door. Plus, I've had to brake pretty hard a few times with both of my dogs in the back seat.

Rottweilers shed twice a year.

From January to June, and July to December.

You need a good vacuum if you want these dogs.

i ahve a beagle and she sheds like crazy!! I brush her twice a day and she still sheds all over the place! UUgh! It's sooo frustating

The pekes tend to shed seasonally and our min pin not at all.
But our pug is another story! She sheds all year long. Now I don't mind grooming dogs myself (If I did I definitely would not have 2 pekes!) but what I hate the most about Roxy's fur is that each peice is like a little needle. It embeds itself in everything so it is really hard to get off of clothes and furniture!

My dog sheds a fair amount for a short haired dog, it overall isn't TOO bad, but if you are just sitting there and itching her it all starts dropping like black snow. :P

I have an Australian Labradoodle, and he doesn't shed AT ALL. Even when i brush him, only a tiny amount of fur comes off.

I have 2 German Shedders and vacuum every day, sometimes (when people come over) I do it twice per day.. even on a raw diet they shed, it's the darn double coat.. next time I'm getting a poodle (just kidding!).

Blaze doesnt shed to bad, considering h is a collie. I brush him maybe once a week (yup Im lazy lol But he always looks brushed, jut the way he looks.) and Im lucky if I get a handful o hair ot of m. He i raw fed, supplimented with fish oils, so thatmay be why he isnt to bad.
