Is it really that time again?

NewbieShepherdGirl · 08-08-2011, 04:36 PM

Sasha blew her coat in like late February early March. I think She's starting to do it again. I noticed the other day that she was looking a little mangy again and I was like, "No, surely not...Maybe I'm just crazy" But then...the clumps of leg hair has begun and I am starting to see little Sasha tumble weeds every day. Would this be the normal time for a second coat blow or is she just shedding a little more recently?

My 5 year old Sadie has been shedding clumps EVERYWHERE. I brush her too. I guess I just have to vacumm every day.

I was wondering the same thing. I got a lot of fur out her when I brushed her yesterday.

The days are getting noticeably shorter, and the CNE starts this week, so, sniff, summer is coming to an end.

Shasta blew her coat in December, then again in June. December wasn't bad...7 days of dog hair everywhere but June was he!!ish! 5 weeks of the worst shedding you can imagine. I don't understand why she wasn't bald at the end.
