    I would say pretty much from 00:01 to 23:59. Give or take ;)

    ;D ;D ;D

    Actually not quite that bad, but nearly! I have one Lab who barely moults and one who moults a lot. I do find that at a couple of times a year it gets worse. I do brush or comb them every couple of days just to get rid of the hairs into the bin rather than they fall out on the carpet.

    Rue had a week long shedding bout back in late August where hair was literally EVERYWHERE. Giant balls. But she hasn't had any issues since. I'm wondering when the next one will be!

    Jack and Barney barely shed either, but our last two did quite a bit. The pups are 5 months and we have them on a supplement called Bionic Biotic which helps skin/digestive conditions and improves coats, and I certainly think it helps that, their coats are gleaming now and so soft too x

    I had "tumbleweeds" in the house with Cooper (almost 8 months) but I also posted this same question and was recommended to buy the Furminator......it is expensive but well worth the money. It takes care of 75 to 80% of the shedding.
    Good luck.

    I like your style. I did an embroidery that said "Dust is a protective covering for furniture"
