Remolacha Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 yeah, right! Who started that myth? Since it turned cold I have been brushing a whole 'nother dog out of Val every day. Seriously, I could make a chihuahua-a-day out the fur that comes off her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yeah. None of mine got the "no shedding" memo. They didn't get the "no barking" memo either!

LaFlaca Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That is adoption kennel propaganda like Greyhounds don't bark and they don't smell. Wendy shed like a Malamute and Lola has her own very distinctive reek odor.

cleptogrey Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Well, if you compare them to a corgi or GSD they hardly shed. But that non-shed memo....oh, yes....they can't read. Maybe that's the problem? Edited January 3, 2019 by cleptogrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 I will admit, some of mine have shed a lot less than others, but they all shed. I’ve had a couple of barkers, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyTzu Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 All dogs shed. The curly coated dogs shed, but the hairs stay in the coat, instead of falling on the floor. Yeah, I always loved the tale of the greyhound that doesn't shed. I am still waiting to find this mythical beast. Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

Busderpuddle Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I bought a Roomba because I could no longer stand all the Ruby tumbleweeds. It is full every single morning when I dump it out. If you don't own a Roomba, they are pretty awesome.......even getting all the hair and dust from under the furniture. Quote Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaintyDutchess Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I must admit my brindle is such a minimal shedder. I was shocked! No odor and such a clean little lady. She has a bit of a seasonal shed and thats it. I just bought a soft equine brush for her and she is lovin it. Her fur is soooo soft I could pet her for hours. My friend has a fawn boy and the hair is everywhere. I got lucky with my girl. Had a German Shepherd a long time ago and the hair was unbearable for me. Never will have another breed because Greyhounds are perfect to me all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenEveBaz Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 My brindles shed at different times of the year from each other.

JackieDog Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I read the title and burst out laughing. There are two shedding seasons. Night and Day. And, to top it off, we suddenly find a black and white furred creature in our house, as if the fawn fur all over didn't get all over everything. Now there is a color to show on EVERYTHING. That said, my galgo barely lost fur. I'd take Homer out for a regular brushing (furminator is my my friend). He lined up for it, then she would come over and present herself for her turn with the furminator. Only hardly anything came off. It was basically a prolonged scratching and rubbing session, but she was not about to let herself be left out of the evolution. Silly girl. But if it had only been her there would have been a lot less fur decorating...everything.

Remolacha Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 very impressive Miss Bea! My big shedders have been my two black girls.
