Hairballs

My corgi has had 2 'hariballs' appear in the last week. They are fairly large at that. I do not believe he pooped them, as they were on some of his 'bases' He had one last night on his bed, but continued to sleep there also. They appear to be large clumps of his hair, virtually odourless.

His coat was blowing a few weeks ago, It is currently very under control and brushing yeilds little results. We sweep out entire appartment on a weekly basis, this could likely be improved. He has always liked to eat our hairs and whatnot.

Does your corgi eat hair or have hairballs? Do you have any suggestions?

I furminate Bear outside and as soon as we finish he goes racing across the yard to eat up his own hair...not sure what the appeal is, but it hasn't hurt him yet.

The furr balls he is seemingly throwing up, about 2" long and 1/2-3/4" wide, don't understand how he could have done it. He seems fine, I just find this a bit odd, the quantity is just ridiculous, I don't even know where he is getting that much. It is ridiculous. Lots of hair in his poo too, but not so much an issue I would think.

His health is just fine, he was a bit of a suck today due to having company last evening (keeping him up, a few loud noises stressed him some, but after some play time with us he is back to normal).
