You know… I spent like 20minutes searching the internet for this exact information, and couldn't find anything really helpful. So I thought to myself, I wonder if the Basenji forum has anything... and here is the exact answer I needed! I need to remember to just check here first.

My dog's name is MEEKA also… how strange!
She was shedding like mad also.... FURMINATOR! Worked wonders. Be careful though they are a bit aggressive, but work great!

Okay, I admit this is an area I'm stupid about. Shaye was born in December and never shed - just appeared to keep getting darker red. Now she's shedding her white hairs, she looks like her ears are losing their hair, she's changing color on the side of her neck, but when I slicker brush her I don't get hair in it - is this "blowing coat?" Love that phrase, never heard it before. Nothing in her diet, exercise or living conditions has changed. Only her attitude. Like all 7 1/2 month olds, she's getting more stubborn, though I thought that was impossible.

Juse read a note about the Furminator, which you can buy at Petsmart and Petco, which evidently does a great job handling the shedding situation - definitely going shopping this afternoon!

I'm using that Furminator and it's really great. It gets the hair the other brushes miss. His coat looks better too!

I have to say when I first read this I had to laugh not at the fact of the blowing coat but when you have had a long hair akita this to me is nothing. I told my daughter I love this blowing coat its great. The shiba has there two times a year of blowing coat. Jaycee has been a dream come true.

Abby blew her coat last month and has already grown her winter fur! It's only august and we live in IL so it's not cold here. But I did notice that she is not black anymore on her sides it's kind of a brownish black. Her fur is very thick and long up around her neck! She has never changed color before but it is all of her soft undercoat that is a different color.

Our Shiba is getting her winter coat but not our Basenji. I wonder if we can cause it when we run our air in the house. Warm when they go out and cool or cold when they come in.
