Do they shed a lot?
The 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 QuestionsFrequently Asked QuestionsHealthy Schips usually shed their undercoats twice a year--in the spring and again in the fall. (Their outer coats tend to shed more or less continuously, however, with frequent brushing, this rarely a problem.) A bitch who has whelped also will shed undercoat about two months after having her litter, and dogs who have been ill or undergone strong medication will sometimes shed following these events. If your Schip seems to shed more often or for too long, check with your vet.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
