| Do Labradors Shed? |
| Tuesday, 25 March 2008 | |
|
Oh yes! Labradors have a double coat (longer top coat, and downy undercoat that keeps them dry). These two types of coat help keep the dog warm and dry while swimming in cold waters when retrieving ducks. Labradors will shed *both coats* twice a year. This is called "blowing" their coat (it's not called "blowing" for nothing!). Some Labradors shed less than others. Labradors should be brushed on a regular basis (weekly).
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
One Labrador, one person, one brush, ONE minute:
But fear not, there is no doubt that the Birds in Acton California are some of the most comfortable, happy birds in the USA!

Pawsitive Quotes
“Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.”
