1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction.

I had the longest one in my morning V8 the other day......

Kelly was staring at me as I tried , unsuccessfully, to spit it into the sink.

Enjoy the fur.... because there's no stopping it Smile

They blow their winter coat in the Spring to grow in their summer coat, and they blow their summer coat in the Fall to grow in their winter coat. You may not have noticed 2 distinct coat blow for your pup because some will have a contant shed from Spring through Summer. Some huskies will have about a month and then stop, and some will take months which will then run into each other making it seem like they shed all through Spring, Summer and Fall.

We find Trillion hair everywhere!
In our food in our drinks, sometimes I wake up and there is Trillion hair in my mouth!!!

O_O WE CAN NOT ESCAPE.
we're going to try our the furmanator though, since it seems to be magical and get 'all' of the loose hair off most dogs

I'm going to try the ferminator aswell, it does seem to hold some mystical power among husky owners so I'm going to jump on the band wagon - Not that we need it just yet, but best to be prepared.

Doesn't hold anything over me! lol. I hate the furminator. A greyhound comb works just as well without damaging their guard hairs. That and an undercomb rake and pin brush.

I have heard some negative reviews from it, but also alot of positive, but I'm going to give it a go. I'm not going to buy the legitimate ferminator (I refuse to spend $100+ on a dog brush) so it wont be too much out of pocket expence. I'll give it a go, if I dont like it it wont be a major loss.

Thanks I do appreciate everyone's views. Smile
I was looking into the undercoat rakes. I've never heard of a greyhound come but am going to google it right now Smile

I have this model with the push-button to remove the hair. I made the mistake and paid 55 dollars at petsmart. Amazon for the win! Luna gets combed with this twice a week outside and the whole front yard is covered with hair. I let the wind take it away!

I have a furminator brush and the thing works wonders. I do notice that it pulls out guard hairs as well, but it's very minimal and a small price to pay for how much it pulls from the undercoat. Got the big yellow one with the push button for $15 bucks on amazon or something. I stay away from pet stores at every opportunity.

Eh, we just use an undercoat rake and a slicker brush. If Delilah is being especially difficult that day we use the Zoom Groom. No furminator here, don't wanna rip the coat.
