Shedding like Crazy

    Over the last week or so, Malu (who just turned 1yr old), is shedding like crazy. The weather started to get cold here in northern VT, maybe that has something to do with it? I just used a lint roller to clean my couch, and after him sitting down for less than a min it looks like this.

    Maybe Malu is just shedding his puppy coat. It will blow out then his adult coat will grow in.

    I have it easy. Kananga stands in the tub while I scrub him. I've never needed to be with him while he gets his bath. He just likes to lick my hand while I rinse him off. He's extremely tolerant of baths. I noticed this helped when he was blowing his coat earlier in the year. I remember all of the hair that would come off of him.

    Our lab used to shed like crazy if anything stressed her. You'd think it she was like a porcipine throwing out quills. I have noticed that Jayden (who has no reason to be stressed by anything) is currently shedding. But in his case I think it is because the weather has been so weird. I think he started putting on a winter coat when we had an unusually cold spell in November. Now it is unusually warm….I think his body thinks that Spring has sprung and it is shedding some of his winter coat. Pat
