| Ah, must've read what you wrote before wrong then. Koda still only blew it 2x a year in AZ. |

| Plenty of huskies in FL even blow the normal twice a year so I am convinced that it depends on the dog. I almost wondered if it had something to do be being breed in and used to a climate. Because all the bi-annual shedding huskies in FL that I knew were all originally from FL so they were used to the heat their entire lives. Dakota comes from up north where it's cold almost all year so I wondered if that made a difference. Your Koda is also used to the heat so it doesn't affect him I'm guessing. Maybe he'll have a stronger spring blow though if he develops a thicker coat after going through a CO winter. _________________ |

| You know my thought process on that was "oh, I love the shedding so much, I think I want to double it!" I think Rogue's will be more minor as her hair seems like it will be pretty thin. |

That's what I suspected! As much as I hate the shedding, I'd have gotten 2 huskies in a heartbeat if hubby would have let me. lol Benefits FAR outweigh and negatives! _________________ |

| Oh I am more than happy that I got a 2nd! Rogue has been an amazingly pleasant puppy experience - she pretty much mimics Koda's good behavior, we haven't had an accident in 5 days, and she learned sit, down, stay, shake, spin, and roll over all within 30 minutes, and she does not mouth at all anymore nor chew on anything that isn't a bone or dog toy.. knocking on wood, but HAH to everyone who said my 2nd dog would be horrible because I can't have two good dogs! |

| Nope, never ends...just got yet another confirmation of that! LOL This was after brushing them for about 10min each. Mind you, I brushed them yesterday as well. I think Miss Mya is starting to blow coat, but Kody isn't and I take more hair out of him than her! |

| Ok, I just had a repeat of the picture that I posted above How many times a week do you all brush your doggies? I do it once a week, but I'm thinking I need to do it more!!! |

| Mel, when Koda's blowing his coat I brush him everyday for 20-30 minutes. |

| Crap, 20-30min everyday!!!?!! When Mya blows her coat I'll do it maybe 2-3 times a week, but when she's not blowing coat it's once a week. I think she's starting though. It's crazy how much more hair Kody lets out though and he's not even blowing coat!!! |

| I hardly ever brush Koda when he's not shedding, just when he starts up! |

| We brush Appa for about 10 minutes a day to every other day when he's not blowing. We get about two 20 minute sessions a day when he is blowing. It's a lot of work, but he has the best coat I've ever felt. |

| Willow is starting as well. I noticed yesterday that it looks like I can start plucking at her hind quarters. |

| The large brown one hasn't started shedding but the small white one has been shedding like crazy since before Christmas. She's out of control - and sheds completely differently than Chili!!! As much as we brush, she's like an explosion of fur. |

| Dakota started last week. Spent a good 20 minutes brushing today and it looks like it snowed in my backyard but if you look at or touch my sibe you'd think I hadn't taken a brush to him at all. Neverending! _________________ |

| I don't think it ever ends with Keimo. Bella hasn't started yet. Who knows? Maybe she is a mixed breed and her coat will be different... Could I get that lucky? Probably not. |

| Indy hasn't started yet. I'm not sure if this will be the year he does as his coat is still pretty thick and long, but no more shedding than usual. |

| Ava and Snickers started a few weeks ago. I just got back inside from tying them up on the front porch and alternating between blasting with a force dryer and a Furminator. I'm sure my neighbors loved watching...And I may have blasted the cats a couple of times for fun |

| Speaking of that, is the furminator worth the money? I've been looking at them at Petsmart. |

| I bought a shedmonster or something like that from Walmart and prefer it over the furminator. Less expensive and I think it's easier on the coat/skin. |

| They're definitely worth the money, but don't go to a pet store! I got mine on ebay for less than $15, and that was with shipping. It gets off a ton of fur really fast. |
