milly is my 1st lab and i just wonder how much other peoples dog moult we walk in the woods where there is usually a good muddy puddle she comes out of there totally black up to her belly but dries off before we get home but every day she sheds enough hair to cover the dowstairs of the house not only single hair but tufts i use a horse rubber curry comb and a dog comb but as i am hoovering and she follows me around she just leaves more where i have just been with the hover she is on dry kibble just wondered if this is normal
Re: moulting Sams black hairs roll around like tumbleweed at times too , its normal I`m afraid : I dont brush him a lot as he tends to charge through brambles and undergrowth , it sort of does the job for me
Re: moulting I have two black Labs, the one barely moults at all, so when number 2 came along and I found black hairs everywhere, it was a shock! He moults so much that the hair on his tum is very thin.
Re: moulting My old Lab lost undercoat in clumps at certain times of the year. Current dog Obi loses a lot less but we still have blonde tumbleweeds. Milly sounds pretty normal
Re: moulting Depending on age also they can lose their puppy hair a an alarming rate and at one point we thought Jake might end up bald he was shedding that much but thankfully he does not shed so much now . Mike
Re: moulting yes when Benson was 5 months old he literally "dropped" his fur! Since then though he has hardly shed at all, think we must be lucky!
Re: moulting I'm lucky too, I don't have a massive shedder but I don't think we are the norm...I think It's Dexter's way of coping with our temps...he seems to have a consistent coat all year round x
Re: moulting yes she is constantly dropping vast amounts of fur even standing still the slightest movement drops lots more maybe it will calm down as she gets older she is 13months and i have noticed recently she has gone quite a lot darker yellow almost red onher ears
