My neighbours have a UKC yellow lab, and every fall and spring, look out! If you stand downwind from that dog in late october, you'd swear you just bear hugged a Malamute. TONS of hair during the shedding season, and it does shed moderately year-round. By contrast, my other neighbours have a lab MIX, and it sheds moderately twice a year.
I've got a Lab/Border Collie mix who sheds like crazy! I find hairs everywhere, even in my food :p
I've got a friend though who has a purebred Lab. I think that's the most I've seen ANY dog shed! It was crazy. I was petting her back and my hand was coated in hairs. ;)
I hear they shed more than huskies do...Now that's saying something!
All the lab/lab mixes I see at the dogpark seem like very loving dogs. A trainer I went to did say that they have a very long "puppyhood". I'm sure lab owners here will fill you in!
I do think huskies shed more than labs. I have met a few that have came through the shelter where I volunteer and they would shed like crazy. I love their coats and the breed of course. :D Huskies are awesome, just not for me. :)Quote:
