<p>That looks like my back porch after I brush Ginger out! We've been having that for a good 4 weeks. Welcome to spring with a Corgi!</p>

<p>I've seen it. It was lovely. That's why I have the idea of vacuuming on my dog. LOL... It looks quite efficient, but I don't know whether my pup will let me do that or not. </p>
<p>Which type (Product #?)of the shark vaccum is it BTW? I might need to get one. I could still use it even if I couldn't use on the pup...</p>
<p></p>
<p>LOL...</p>

<p>we currently own that same shark vacuum, when we finally get a corgi, not sure if we'll try that or not, could be useful!</p>

<p></p>
<p>I get more than that off our cat, sometimes. He's due for a trip to the groomer any day now. We're mentally prepping for corgis, and knowing that I could probably make 3 or 4 more dogs out of fur alone.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've also heard that corgis shed twice a year:</p>
<p>January-May and June - December :p</p>

<p>Again, I'm totally fine and accept as I mentioned in my original post. Since I am a first time owner, I am curious how much shedding is in the normal range for a healthy corgi (even thought it might be a lot lot...)</p>
<p>--- I don't want to overlook her health concern which may cause the shedding even more. That's why I asked here.</p>
<p>Thanks everybody for all the information and suggestion! It is a RELIEF that I have nothing to worry about the shredding at this point, as you guys all…</p>

<p>Thanks everybody for all the information and suggestion! It is a RELIEF that I have nothing to worry about the shredding at this point, as you guys all said it was even much less than the normal amount. Yes, I will start to use the Furminator ONLY once a week and be gently at the end. Maybe invest in a vacuum shortly --- So I could vaccum on her and blow the coat together, LOL...</p> Your vacuum is your best frie…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-05-29:1150197:Comment:15413072012-05-29T13:06:27.556ZKaren Dadismanhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/KarenDadisman
<p>Your vacuum is your best friend when you own a Corgi. It is continuous and can be heavier during prime shedding seasons. We just deal with it and don't fret. If you can't live with dog hair, you will be a very unhappy Corgi owner!! The hair is worth the joy of living with Corgis!!!!</p>

<p>Wow, that's all you got?! lol! Frosty started shedding this week and one brushing session of about 15 minutes resulted in a pile roughly 10 times that size! Most corgis "blow coat" twice a year, although we have never noticed a specific season change triggering Frosty's shed. An adult corgi sheds WAY more than that, so be happy she is only 6 months old for now lol. Not a stress signal or health concern, just normal corgi shedding. Learn to love it!!</p>

<p>I am sorry to report to you that I will get about 6 times that amount of hair off of Maddie when she is blowing coat! All of them are different and Jack usually loses only a handful or two of hair a day, but Maddie's seems to let go all at once and it's like you describe: I stop brushing not because the hair is no longer coming, but because I get tired of brushing. I would only furminate every third day or so. I mix it up from day to day between a fine comb, furminator, and slicker…</p>

I would only furminate every third day or so. I mix it up from day to day between a fine comb, furminator, and slicker brush. Then I let it rest one day and start the three-day cycle again. </p>
