Shedding issue. . .
I'm seeing Willow start to blow her coat already. It's only March, is this the norm?? I don't remember it being so obvious previous years.
At this point Koda is still holding on to his baby fur too... but I was looking at him while we were outside today and I would swear that his haunches are looking like they could start to blow fur any time now. It kind of looks like a mix of puppy fur with the undercoat maturing. Kind of hard to explain, but sure looking different than it used to.

Darkwind blows his coat in March, he actually starts in late Feb and in Minnesota it's still really cold. But he does it every year at this time. Because it's so cold I'm not supper aggressive about combing it out, just a bit at a time to keep him from matting, but he needs the undercoat right now. By early summer he's back in full coat and beautiful, but hot! Firesong blows her coat right before summer. So for several months I have lots of hair to deal with

Oooh, scary. We went out of town for a couple of days and he must have started shedding while we were gone. I didn't notice much hair on the floor, but when I brushed him, I got a lot more hair off him.
