    I have 4 dogs and using the Furminator helps. Also a good rake brush is helpful. We often shave one of ours too, but he is a long haired dog.

    You could try a Lamb based dog food...It has cut the shedding in my house by ALOT...however I have 2 dogs and a cat so I also vacuum everyday...nothing will stop that LOL, but believe it or not...alot of dogs have a low tolerance to chicken and that is the most common dog food.

    just a mention of that if you are using a average brand 'lamb' dog food read the label carefully, many of the store bought lamb dog foods have beef and chicken in them. the store brands have actually made it so lamb is no longer used as a elimination food anymore.

    I buy Nutritian First by Presidents Choice...There is no chicken or beef in it and the dogs love it...I would say that my dogs shed a 1/4 of what they use to. and its very affordable which is a bonus :happy:

    What do you feed him?

    He's on royal canin, it's recommended by his vet and breeder and it's good quality, might change it to the lamb one. He gets green tripe the odd time too

    Some shed more than others and I just live by the words on a magnet on my fridge "No outfit if complete without dog hair". I love my babies so much more than the dog hair bothers me. I don't really have any suggestions for you other than what others have already had. I feel bad for people that have a hard time living with it,

    Oy, I have an Australian Shephard. Nuff said.

    I brush her every day, and still she waits until I am leaving for work in my black pants, and 'hugs' mommy good bye:sad:

    Yeah I get that too, normally accompanied by a big drooly kiss!still love him tho!

    :laugh: no droolz here. But LOTS of hair. I have a roly in my car, my office desk, my trunk..........I have them all over my house for friends. Of course my friends bring their own dog hair with them :wink:

    My two beagles (small dogs with short hair) shed like crazy, and I brush them every day. Look at the bright side -- log those calories burned vacuuming ;) !

    We have a 7 year old Boykin. We brush him everyday and vacuum everyday. But, it's worth it. Best dog I have ever had.
