    Our puppy is shedding a lot this week - I’m having to vacuum twice a day! As a new puppy owner I am wondering, is this due to the change in weather (we live in UK) or do they shed more when in season? I’m hoping it’s the latter!

    I find they don’t shed at all for ages, then have a big moult at around 7-8 months old, regardless of when they have their first season. After that the moulting is more seasonal.

    Some adults shed a lot (Zaba)

    Some hardly at all (Tatze)

    2 weeks ago my girl was shedding a lot, she's been spayed. She goes through seasonal shedding.

    My boy sheds almost all the time! Changing all the furnishings to match him now! :)
