Blowing coat?
-
Well, the bath and zoom groom only got a fraction of the undercoat. I think this is going to be a project that takes awhile. Meanwhile, I think I could make Cory a coat and dress her up as shibu inu for halloween with all the fluff that I'm getting off her. Good grief, you'd think we live in Alaska instead of Georgia. She really didn't need that much of a winter coat!

You know… I spent like 20minutes searching the internet for this exact information, and couldn't find anything really helpful. So I thought to myself, I wonder if the Basenji forum has anything... and here is the exact answer I needed! I need to remember to just check here first.

Okay, I admit this is an area I'm stupid about. Shaye was born in December and never shed - just appeared to keep getting darker red. Now she's shedding her white hairs, she looks like her ears are losing their hair, she's changing color on the side of her neck, but when I slicker brush her I don't get hair in it - is this "blowing coat?" Love that phrase, never heard it before. Nothing in her diet, exercise or living conditions has changed. Only her attitude. Like all 7 1/2 month olds, she's getting more stubborn, though I thought that was impossible.

Juse read a note about the Furminator, which you can buy at Petsmart and Petco, which evidently does a great job handling the shedding situation - definitely going shopping this afternoon!

I have to say when I first read this I had to laugh not at the fact of the blowing coat but when you have had a long hair akita this to me is nothing. I told my daughter I love this blowing coat its great. The shiba has there two times a year of blowing coat. Jaycee has been a dream come true.

Abby blew her coat last month and has already grown her winter fur! It's only august and we live in IL so it's not cold here. But I did notice that she is not black anymore on her sides it's kind of a brownish black. Her fur is very thick and long up around her neck! She has never changed color before but it is all of her soft undercoat that is a different color.
