Shedding

MN GSD Fan · 01-20-2013, 04:27 PM

Our 9 year old GSD sheds like crazy, but our 12 week old GSD puppy doesn't appear to shed at all yet. Is that just because it is his puppy fur yet?

Yes and your pup is a lot smaller so what he does shed you don't notice as much.

Puppies will shed very little if at all until their adult fur starts to come in... My first GSD didnt start really shedding until she was about 5 months old!

My pup is almost 10 months and started really shedding around 6 months I'd say. He stopped when the weather turned cold, but the shedding has started up again with a vengeance, which surprised me...I thought we would have at least a couple of months without hair tumbleweeds in the house.
