(Hence we've switched to laminate)Louise, I bet Seiko will feel a lot better now that you've groomed her
well done for doing a great job (Just think of how strong your arms are going to be in a few months from all that brushing - who needs a gym? )

He gets brushed daily for about 20 minutes then for an hour on a Sunday..
But when his coat drops its a different story...more like an hour a day and 20 minutes on a Sunday
Thankfully its only once a year though.. Usually daily he can fill a carrier bag.. Coat dropped its more like a Black Bin bag! BUT I love him to bits and wouldn't change him for the world
I used to have a long coated GSD.. She was a babe.. had her for 14 years.. can't say I ever brushed that much out of her in one go though..

When he starts to lose it, the tips of his ears tuft and the tops of his legs..but not his actual coat.. Usually once we notice it's going he gets brushed each night for about 45 minutes over 3 nights then he gets a bath.. but it came out easily this time so we bathed him last night..So now that the bath has loosened more hair we will brush him again tonight..
I will take another pic of what comes out tonight
keesha is 8 and a half, she is not matted at all, i gave her another brush today but not even a brush full came off her, she has been speyed recentley and was told it maybe the hormone changes so will wait and see, thanks for the reply
