Related QuestionsShould children and raccoons be raised together?
REMO'S FAQ'sThis is a personal decision. I've known of a family that raised 2 children and 3 raccoons, a squirrel, a cat and two dogs together successfully.

Newf FAQYes. The undercoat is shed at least once per year, known as "blowing coat." Grooming is extremely important at this time, as the dead coat must be brushed out or mats will form. It is possible to brush out a pile of hair which seems to be equal to the size of the dog being groomed, but this is not an ongoing condition. About ten minutes per day of brushing (a little more during the few weeks of shedding per year) will keep the coat glossy & healthy.Related Questions

The coats can vary in the amt of density of undercoat and breeders can generally tell which puppies at birth will be the heaviest coated. If the dog lives outdoors especially in the cold weather, the spring shed will be profuse. If the dog lives inside most of the time, the shed will be much more moderate. Generally, the dogs shed in the Spring (March-June) and then have a very light shed in the Fall.Related Questions

Backyard Bird Center: FAQ: 2006This is a battle we fight constantly and reports are that raccoon numbers are very high this year. There are several things to try. If you are feeding from your deck, you pretty much have to take you feeders in at night. With any luck, you can get them to move along. If you are feeding from a pole system in your yard the solution is to add a raccoon baffle to your setup. This is not to be confused with a squirrel baffle.
