Well, since I had to give Tessa a bath today, count me in on the winter coat thing...
But I'm not noticing undercoat, it's getting super thick on her thighs & bum, a bit on the back of her neck--and the craziness of her tail fur--
This tail has a mind of it's own.
But she has not shed a fur since her puppy coat blew. It's the strangest thing bathing a pooch & they don't shed.
Actually it's quite lovely!!! I didn't have to pull fur from my drain.
My last girl had the shepherd coat, didn't fully develop til she was about 3, but jeeze the fur shed never seemed to end.
I think I could do just a few weeks of heavy shed if it means most of the summer without a ton of fur flying everywhere.
