It's our dogs with double coats that shed so much - much more (even size for size ) than Afghans and Yorkies. The 'silky' long haired types may demand more grooming and more coat care ... but those hardy double coats are the gift that keeps on giving!

Mazlin Sep 2017 7:10pm, 5 Sep 2017 3,562 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin I read somewhere that how much an individual 'doodle'-type sheds is down to it's particular mix of genes. (I guess maybe it's the same for all of them - are there 'lots of shedding' genes and 'less shedding' genes??)
halfpint Sep 2017 7:16pm, 5 Sep 2017 23,908 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I guess Ernie's shedding gene is more cocker than poodle. He only sheds a teeny bit though, so we still have the joy of groomers bills.

I've only got hard floors downstairs thankfully, and the Roomba vacuum cleaner takes care of the floor when I'm at work each day.

Mazlin Sep 2017 9:00pm, 5 Sep 2017 3,563 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin Yep, Rory sheds all over the place. I don't know why because he's only got a thin coat. Belated congratulations, D2 and Indi! I think Indi must be the most multi-talented dog ever.
