I'm sorry, but I've seen pics of your dog and it is NOT possible for that dog to not shed. There's no way. She obviously has longer fur, and an undercoat. She sheds, I guarantee it. Maybe not as bad as other dogs, I can believe that...especially shepards, they shed terribly.......but she sheds.

The only dogs that don't shed are types like poodles and schnauzers...and even they shed a bit...humans shed hair too.....

I'm serious, she doesn't When I brush her, a bit of hair comes out, but you can never find hair on my clothes or the carpet (unless I just finished brushing her and her hair is loose) Maybe that's just her way of shedding? Through brushing?

maybe??

Jewels has the "human" hair and doesnt shed. Well of course she sheds a little. even though she doesnt shed we have to brush her every day though, since she is a maltese and because of her longer coat.

I dont think It is fair that your sheltie should have to live outside. Did you reasearch the breed before you got him? all dogs will shed.

My dog Oscar is a shih tzu, and he doesnt shed at all not even when we brush him. You should have gottin a non sheding breed. Did you even research up on shelties befor you bought one? I hope you did, if you didnt that explains why you were suprised when he started sheding.

uh oh... I just read in another thread that you were going to get another sheltie so you could show him? If you cant deal with the one you have and he is living outside, How can you handle two!

I researched Shelties before i got Foxy. When Foxy had to stay out side he wasn't alone. I was out with him every day for at least 4 hours and i tokk him for at least an hour walk everyday.
I think that my mum didn't want Foxy to come inside for the last month or so because he was into his heavey sheding season and because of my little baby sister(4 months old).
Foxy is not sheding as much as he ue to and he started coming back nside yestoday

Mickey is still kinda small so he doesn't shed A LOT yet but you see the hairs flying I read that the sheltie "blows" their coat about once a year and then just sheds regularly the rest of the year. Shedding is normal, it is also the reason my Mom didn't want a dog. Just be patient.
