    HELP!!! My home has been overrun by little white hairs. They stick to my eyelashes. They tickle my lips. They coat my clothes. Sometimes, I can feel them, but I can't see them. I think I eat about 56 dog hairs a day. I vacuum about that many times a day too. :cwl:

    It is January here in Wisconsin, which means Spring will arrive in a fashionable manner. Like, not until April if we are lucky. But, Aspen is shedding like CRAZY. Is it too early to be losing his winter coat? January is such a cold month here, but he isn't bothered by the cold. It just seems like its too soon to be losing the winter coat. Like I said, Spring and warmer weather probably won't arrive for another 2-3 months.

    We are mid winter here for us too, spring will be here around March/April, and Axel is also shedding like crazy. I brushed and vacuumed up enough hair to make another Labrador yesterday.

    It was all basically the guard hairs (he doesn’t have much for undercoat), so I wasn’t sure if this is his summer coat finally shedding out or if he’s losing his winter coat already after having a couple weeks of weather above freezing.

    Bailey likes to share his beautiful hairy coat with his hoomans at all times - and he is very generous with it too! :rolleyes:

    @snowbunny by that, I meant that it’s quite cold, not that it is a different month :D

    Lol Max has lost enough hair to make two other labs, no matter how many x I brush him and Hoover, I can still see it lying on the floor. After having a bath and seeing all of his black hairs in the bottom of the bath as if he has had the bath not me !
    I think the hair dropping is slowing now, fingers crossed until the next time.
