*laughing* I love the term "blow their coat"...TJ obviously thought it meant EXPLODE!!! Went to bed one night with one little tuft on his rear and awoke to a massive explosion of tufts up past his last rib!! Windy didn't seem to get near the tufts as him. We brush every other day (and I'm not even going to talk about the vaccum!! )  Since they are both just shy of 7 months, this was their first blow...somehow, I am NOT looking forward to next spring hahahahhahaha

I filled half a 30 gallon trash can within 20 minutes of brushing Kato. I still have another day or so....lol

I think this is it ... Layla's first coat blow. It's just starting because the tufts aren't sticking out yet but if you run your hand over her fur, especially on her back legs, a lot comes out. Here's the result of 15 minutes with the undercoat rake last night:

After about 10 minutes of (inconsistent) brushing.

Man I should have taken a picture of the mountain I made with Okami's fur today!!

I have a unit of measurement when I brush her. I think the amount from today was 7 puppies worth. ( make that amount of like 3 month old puppies.... wooly ones lmao.)

Yesterday I got a little bit more than the poof of fur I posted last time. I took Layla out onto our deck and went through her with the undercoat rake for a good half-hour. It's still not nearly as much fur as I've seen from adult dogs, but Layla's definitely blowing.

Also, today I saw this shared on the Facebook page of a musher I'm friends with. I don't endorse the Furminator in the corner, but you get the idea ...

This is our first time. If I take her to the dog wash and blow her dry, will it help?
