Related QuestionsThe Klee KaiYes, they shed twice a year. They blow their coat each time and require plenty of brushing during this period. Of course when you are looking at a 10 to 20 pound dog, there isn't nearly as much hair as regular sized husky. I have allergies and these dogs don't aggravate them, so some people who are allergic to dogs may be able to tolerate these, probably because they are such clean dogs.Related Questions

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

Generally, the dogs shed in the Spring (March-June) and then have a very light shed in the Fall.Related Questions

Related QuestionsDo Staffords shed much?
Beginners Start Here/Frequently Asked QuestionsStaffords are short-haired and so do not shed very much at all. Bear in mind, though, that a white dog's hairs will show up against a dark background whatever you do, so if this is likely to be an issue for you then go for a darker coloured dog. Conversely, if you have a nice white three piece suite and your favourite clothes are all white, then a lighter coloured - i.e. white - dog is the logical choice for you.
