    When I used to comb out my Golden, our joke was we had enough fur piled up to make a new dog.

    Sometimes it actually WAS exercise, in that I had to chase him all over the house once he saw the brush in my hand.

    She is only 9 months old, her very first coat blowing. I am so proud :')

    what a beautiful dog!!! we have a german shepherd and that's what it looks like after we brush him, too. we have a tool called a furminator and it's AWESOME!!!! but it's quite a chore to keep him still and brush through all of that :)

    OMG! My kids would DIE with there allergies. You must clean out your air filter all the time. Yep you should count it!

    that is adorable!! I wish my dog would sit still long enough to let me brush him. He looks lazy in my photo but he can be so hyper, especially when it comes to bathing!

    I have a Persian, and combing him should probably be logged as wrestling...or maybe cage fighting.

    Haha right?!?!

    She is a beautiful dog and I am sure the brushing was tiring, but she looks happy! :smile:

    Try a furminator, get twice the hair.

    I have a husky/golden mix. The gobs of hair that come off her could probably be woven into an afghan or something. Beautiful dog!

    No...but the dog gets to lose weight.


    We have a shepherd-husky cross and a German Shepherd that both shed like that..... we vacuum daily.

    Luckily the lab-border collie cross keeps his hair....mostly

    Holy crap! That's a whole other dog laying there next to your pooch! Beautiful dog, by the way. I'm a huge fan of huskies and malamutes, but it would just be cruel to have one in the climate I live in...way too many 100+ days, and I can't keep the A/C too cold or the power bill is unmanageable.

    LOL I wonder..... I've often asked myself if I can count hand-waxing my car as an exercise, it does take about 30 minutes and I work up a sweat, even in the freezing cold garage.....

    That's how much hair I get off my cat. No joke. He's a Maine Coon. Hair ALL over the place. Haha.

    haha... lots of fur... beautiful dog. My dog actually likes being brushed. I say, Frankie, lets brush you and he comes right over to me. Toe nails are a different thing... he hates that.

    ...I have two hairy beasts myself.... I get that much hair from one dog after 2mins of brushing. It's gross...and infuriating because no matter how much I brush the hair just never stops!!

    IT NEVER STOPS! LOL


    I always joke that no outfit is complete without dog hair....at least not when leaving my house! haha

    Amen to that....and I have just 1 golden. I find him everywhere. Even when I travel out of state.

    :ohwell:
