My parents got her for me when I was 2 years old and now I'm almost 16. I'm looking into getting another GSD this spring/summer.

Currently I have a Border Collie with medium/long hair and as long as I stay up on brushing him (which isn't that difficult), his shedding is light.


We Have a 1 Year Old German Shepherd & Saint Bernard Mix & He Sheds SOOOO Much,It's Insane! He'll Sleep In The Bedroom With Us (Along With Our 2 Other Dogs..Haha)...And In The Morning...His Hair Will Be EVERYWHERE On The Carpet...I've Never Seen A Dog Shed So Bad...We Literally Have To Vacuum EveryDay. We Love Him Though... (lol)

The beginning of spring is the worst for my dogs but because I groom them every day, they shed into a brush. (the pekes anyway) That way, it doesn't end up flying all over the house.

Our pug sheds much more than the pekes do
but oh well, I love the breed and sometimes 'shed happens'.....

Oh boy, what a mix!!! lol I just got another GSD, her name is Marlie! As a result, my dad went to Wal-Mart the other day and bought a new vaccume! lol She doesn't shed a whole lot right now, but when she's mature the hair will be flyin! I love both GSD's and St. Bernard. I've only known, personally, one St. Bernard and he was AWESOME! I loved him to pieces! I'm sure you do love him, the hair is totally worth it!

My dog Toby,(Wheaten Terrier) doesn't shed so much as drop balls of hair,everywhere,although he is quite a hairy dog.His hair is not thinning at all,but when you look arond the floor you see tumbleweeds of hair.It's funny.My other inside dog Lizzy shed hair,though it drops in single peices,not clumps. You can run your hand down Lizzys' back and you look at your hand and it's covered with hair.Note:This happens a lot in Summer and strangely Winter sometimes too!

No hair over here. I was concerned about Radar being a shedder because of his long hair, but got him home from the shelter and was plesantly surprise that he's a non shedder! Makes figuring out his mix pretty hard though because everything we thought he was mixed with sheds. So there's an unknown dog in there somewhere!
