I used to think Labs shed a lot...UNTIL I got my Cody, a Husky/Shep! YIKES!!!! Talk about fur clumps!! Come Feb., they just start popping out from everywhere on her body; she looks like she has the mumps! Karen (KYS) and I were just talking about this the other day. We both spend evenings in front of the TV "picking" out the 1" or more wide clumpers!! Most of it's been plucked out now, but, on top of all that is a whole other coat of fine, fuzzy fur constantly dropping and blowing around, usually in my mouth!! When I brush her outside, it blows all around in huge clouds; the landscapers always know when it's shedding season!! I think the birds like it though for nest building!! I'm constantly walking behind her pulling out the clumps and she HATES that!! "Enough, Mom!!"
