OK, bit of an odd question from someone who has had bc's for several years, but Stumpy is the first 'medium' coated one I've had. Her coat is literally coming out in clumps. I spent ages brushing her and getting all the loose hair off yesterday and she's nearly as bad again today. Neither Hoki or Kip lost their coats to this extent, though their coats are/were much longer and thicker. It has turned very warm here and I think Stumpy was an outside dog before we got her. Does this sound normal?
Well, I don't know if it's normal so to speak but Cassie certainly loses a lot of hair and has been doing so lately. You should see what ends up on our duvet cover. We tend to try and groom her daily and do find at certain times of the year, like spring, she does lose a lot more.
oh yes leoti has just blown her's , if you bath her every day that will bring the old coat out and the new will grow quicker
Jack's the only BC we've had who doesn't, my other's all lost their coats in clumps, at times the floor used to look like it had tumbleweed blowing across it we could just pull it out in fist fulls, day after day, after day, after day
Indys just blown hers and its come back through lovely, neither felix nor scot did though - mind you felix doesnt have a very good coat bless him!
Max hasn't done so far this year although I think it's just beginning now! He certainly blew his last year luckily he did it while we were on holiday so I didn't need to hoover my carpet every day
Thanks guys. I just can't believe how much hair is coming off her - I didn't think she had that much on her to start with.
I am living in tumbleweed city at the moment no matter how much i hoover as all three are blowing there coat arggggggghhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhh yes they do!!!!! I used to be able to just pull bits out of Mo's coat when he was blowing it!!!!
