Shedding
Started this discussion. Last reply by Beth Jan 7, 2011. 19 Replies 0 Likes
Like all Corgis, mine sheds ferociously. I question that I may be brusing too much, 2 to 3 times per day. Would over brushing cause more than normal shedding? I just got this wonderful little girl…Continue

I said ok to the friend thing on Facebook but I have no idea whatsoever how to use it."
Don Shaw commented on WhiteDove's blog post Andy's New Forever Home"Just read your Andy story. Great story. Sounds like you live in the area where I did prior to moving up to Oregon. I was in Santa Maria."

Elizabeth replied to Don Shaw's discussion Shedding"That they can't be so courteous as to blow coats at the same time (for multi corgi households), thus instead of only dealing with fur "puppies" twice a year, one is whelping fur "puppies" four, six, eight...times a year."

Wendt Worth Corgi's said… - To be honest I can't either...she is quite the looker!!!! I'm glad she has made a wonderful companion for you and its worked out well for both of you. How is the shedding now with her? I have a few questions to ask on it and maybe some advice to help relieve some of that. You can email me at wendtworthcorgis@yahoo.com so I will be more prompt in getting back to you.

Sylvia & Timmy said… Hi Don,
There are many threads regarding shedding. Some are hilarious! As a corgi owner I can tell you that corgi hair is a condiment in my house, in my car, and on my clothes. It's often said that you could make two to three corgis out of the hair that one sheds in a year! LOL Seriously, a really good brushing/combing, a bath and very very thorough rinsing and adding a conditioner. Then getting ahold of the biggest/baddest blow dryer (some use the "wrong" end of a canister vacuum cleaner, (don't use one like we use, very hot), cause it canl burn their skin. Blow against the grain and it's better if you're outside, because hair will be everywhere. literally. This should last for a couple of weeks. Then combing every day or every other day will suffice.
Welcome to the hairy world of corgis!!!! LOL
