[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a Samoyed who sheds daily, and blows his coat (sheds massively) once a year. This is what I do:

- Brush and comb the dog twice a week. When he blows coat, daily.
- Dryer for dogs, used outside on the porch, blows away dander and extra hair. Weekly.
- Roomba every day or every other day.
- Sticky roller clothes and the couch.
- Allow dog on main floor, not basement or upstairs.
- Dust every week as usual, and occasionally vacuum by hand, it's the only way to get into corners and under furniture.

How old is your Samoyed?  Mine is less than a year and we have almost no fur (and he is massive fluff) coming off of him.  I shed my hair more than he does.  We haven't experienced the spring blowout yet which I know will be a ton of fur.  I bought all of these lint rollers and we haven't had to use them. Do they shed more as the get older?  I do give him a quick comb out almost daily and only get very little fur in the comb.  You are scaring me:)-ha![/quote]

This is the prime example of good genetics and appropriate diet. One dog sheds nonstop and another one sheds significantly less. I had a long haired husky and he shed twice a year. So, again, healthy dogs should not shed nonstop. [/quote]
