Hi Sarah,

I reckon Bauer is going through his first right now - we've filled bags and bags and he's being brushed thoroughly every day! Can't wait till he's finished!

Guys,

I managed to buy a brush called a "furminator" online and used it today on Bauer - did a fantastic job. Check out furminator.com or try googleing it!

Walshy & Charlie,

As you can see from previous posts Mals molt in style with fists full of hair coming out. Owners of girl Mals have the pleasure of experiencing this molting twice a year and the hair gets everywhere.

The hair loss sounds perfectly normal. Our Malamute, Sakari, also tends to start blowing from the outer thigh and leaves really thin fur underneath. It looks unsightly for a few days but evens up as the rest of the coat sheds.

I bought something called a furminator - great name for a dog comb eh? lol

Anyway, I found it really helps when Freya starts blowing her coat to give her a brush with this comb. She usually starts with her back legs first also
