<p>Amen to your post! We have two Corgis and it is a year-round nearly impossible task to keep up with the dog hair. I had them groomed once (to deshed) and it lasted for almost two weeks. Too expensive to keep up for that purpose alone. We have a pet rhoomba and a miele and have to run them constantly. Sigh</p>

<p>"Crazy zig-zag"? Do you mean an area of really dense overcoat? Waffle has that, and you're right, it's a horrible undercoat trap. I could brush him for hours there and still get hair off him, but I can't say the same about the sides of his legs or his neck.</p>

<p>I guess I'm a little lucky that Lainie is only half Corgi because at least her fur doesn't clump up like a tumbleweed on the hardwood floors. But this latest bath was just horrendous as far as fur is concerned. I got off a quarter of the amount as usual and thought, hmm! maybe brushing her is paying off? Not so much! She stepped out after being toweled off and puffs and puffs of fur just fell off.</p>

<p>I took Max & Katie in for grooming today, told her that both were starting to blow their coats. She was laughing when I picked them up, said she got enough fur to make 3 more corgis and that was before she even trimmed fluffy Max. I had a snowstorm of fur in the car driving home.</p>

My Loki is close to a year old so this is his first summer. He shredded pretty well at the beginning of winter, but now, MY GOD! I just got done giving him a good combing and he looks noticeably thinner. It's pretty ridiculous.

<p>Katie has a normal corgi coat, Max is a fluffy. You would expect the fluffy to shed the worst...nope. When Max blows his coat it is clumps that can easily be picked up by hand as you walk thru the house, Katie just walks across the floor and you can see the fur flying.</p>
<p>Now the actual worst for shedding in this house is Graycie, my wayward alley cat. When I comb her I get more fur off her then I do off both corgis and the other 2 cats combined.</p>

<p>Just curious, how old are most corgis before the shedding really starts? Marshall is 4.5 months old (granted, he's a corgi mixed with probably a lab), but the shedding hasn't been bad at all so far. I brush him once a week or so, and my vacuum has no problems keeping up with the hair. </p>

<p>Oh, really, Rachel? I've had to empty my Dyson Animal FIVE times while vacuuming my house ONCE. That's 1800 sq ft, twice the size of your apartment. Do the math.</p>
<p>I do follow John's advice to vacuum infrequently, but for different reasons. He noted the potential ear damage. Well, add that noise level to the noise of the corgi that is barking madly at the vacuum. I do think she could kill it.</p>
