RE: [pyrnet] "Blowing Coat"

["WHITE, Jeff" <jwhite@teksid-taf.com>]

Sophie tolerates brushing fairly well for a young 'un...I don't think she'd
go for the "hosing down" though...although she does enjoy taking a dip in
our pond...and she enjoys digging to China  too!

Czar did not really blow his coat last year either...this is the first time
he is really shedding and it may have to do with age.  You will certainly
know it when it happens, but it is very important to keep brushing him,
otherwise it will mat up and will be very difficult to maintain.  I make a
game out of it complete with treats for rewards, and he just loves being
brushed!  He actually falls asleep in the grass while I brush away....

A friend of mine who had a Pyr said the same thing about the birds using the
fur...how neat!  So if you're farther north than I am, how come Sophie isn't
shedding yet?  Is it age related maybe?  She's a little over six months old.

My 1 1/2 year old male, Czar, started losing his coat about 3 weeks ago, but
he is not losing it in clumps like my Alaskan Malamute. (This is Wisconsin
weather)  I am brushing him daily, (sometimes several times)especially along
his rear, pants and tail, as this is where most of it is loose.  He decided
to try and dig to China on Saturday, and hence he received a rinsing with
the hose, which he loves, and this also loosened up the hair considerably.
I do save the wool and set throughout the pine trees on our rural property,
as the birds use this and the malamute wool for their nests; especially the
bluebirds. My Malamute is blowing her coat like crazy and should be bare in
about a week; as she does lose her hair in clumps.

I've heard many stories about what prolific shedders Pyrs are.  Entering my
first spring as a Pyr owner, I'm wondering: when can I expect the blizzard
to begin?  I'm in Dickson, TN, about 40 miles west of Nashville.  We've had
a few days in the 80's so far, but the real heat of the Tennessee summer
shouldn't settle in for another month or so.  Just curious.

Thanks,
Jeff White
