I shave them both every 2 or so months. They love it and so does my carpet. I have never had a problem with the hair not growing back and it always is the same color and look beautiful. We go to the ocean allot and the short cut makes it easy to rinse the salt water and sand off. I don't shave the tail or face just up to the collar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-4222889465121986572011-02-11T16:32:03.027-06:002011-02-11T16:32:03.027-06:00I live in FL and own 4 white GS dogs. 3 short hair...I live in FL and own 4 white GS dogs. 3 short haired and 1 long haired. All of them get shaved 4 to 5 times a year. I use a number 4 in the winter and a number 7 in the summer. My home would be covered in a white haze!! Their coats grow out very fast! I've always owned at least one dog at a time and never shaved them! I'm sorry I didn't. Shaving was the best thing I could have done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-69461734343594503072011-01-07T17:38:48.815-06:002011-01-07T17:38:48.815-06:00Kouma has been outdoors for a good year and a half...Kouma has been outdoors for a good year and a half now because of the hair. But I've reached the point where I just can't let him stay out there anymore. He's inside now and even with constant brushing, he is still a shedding machine. I think that's just the way it is going to be. We have not shaved him again since the time this post was written and his coat has come back completely; it has not affected the growth or anything else.<br /><br />To the person above, it sounds like you're doing all the right things. You just love a breed that sheds constantly. I do know that the highest shedding time for the GSD is in the Spring so get ready. Also, you bathe him once a week? Does he have any skin issues? I've read that with constant grooming/brushing, your dog can go up to 3 months without a bath. Once a week seems like too much to me but I'm no expert. :)<br /><br />Good luck with the shedding! It sucks but I'm sure it's worth it.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124984019558481189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-54267090825227234702011-01-03T17:20:38.174-06:002011-01-03T17:20:38.174-06:00I have a 2 year old male GSD.

When done, it looks like a small papillon was sucked up in the vacuum cleaner. Even after this maintenance dog hair is still scattered throughout the house. He receives compliments on his appearance all of the time and I think shaving him would make him a contestant for the circus. I am reaching out for recommendations on what else I could do to assist in slowing down the shedding process. I brush him with a FURminator and also rake. He hits the tub once a week and I also add Omega supplements to his food.Kyle Wickstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928746043256969263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-91575664378117741672010-07-12T19:02:24.429-05:002010-07-12T19:02:24.429-05:00I'm sorry to hear that your diagnosis has got ...I'm sorry to hear that your diagnosis has got worse, but glad to hear that you are still fighting! <br /><br />I understand taking some time to get your head cleared. I recently had to do that myself with some stuff that happened with a family member. <br /><br />On top of that, I had to have a 2in x 1 1/2in x 1 inch tumor removed from my left breast. The results came back benign which is GREAT! BUT now I'm having to go back because I have a lump on my head behind my left ear. It's been there for over a year and my family said it was nothing to worry about. This week, my head (starting at that spot and going up) is hurting non stop with a dull ache and occasionally shooting pains. Plus I'm having some other concerning symptoms to go along with it. I'm looking forward to finding out more about on the 22nd. <br /><br />Glad to see the new blog! I'm sure you are and can be an inspiration to many MSers and even others who are facing lifelong illnesses!Abbie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04023208854738206961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-90030221232002098982010-07-12T17:58:51.212-05:002010-07-12T17:58:51.212-05:00Hey Abbie!

I actually just started a new blog called Devic's Disease, here's the link. http://devicsdisease.blogspot.com/ I wanted it to be seperate from my business name so I can cuss freely. LOL!<br /><br />Apparently, I have that now, Devic's I mean. It's a rare form of MS, diagnosed June 22, 2010. Woo Wee! I am doing well though despite it all. Please, please, please check out my other blog and follow me there. =) I need some followers, I only have one so far.<br /><br />Oh and don't be scared off by the darkness of the blog, I'm getting a new blog design before the end of the month. <br /><br />Hope you're well and thanks for checking in on me.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124984019558481189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-13069115173780902292010-07-09T00:45:50.830-05:002010-07-09T00:45:50.830-05:00Hey girl!

I was in the middle of writing a comeback post on my blog and was thinking through the people I've had the pleasure of crossing paths with and I thought of you. You had crossed my mind the other day also and it got me to wondering how you were feeling-especially since I haven't read any new posts lately from you. So I thought I'd stop in and say hi!<br /><br />Hope you are doing well and your absence is because you are feeling amazing and enjoying the summertime with your kids!Abbie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04023208854738206961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-88391896525835025202010-06-26T17:37:35.966-05:002010-06-26T17:37:35.966-05:00That's awesome!

I can only tell you my experience with Kouma but maybe someone else will chime in as well.<br /><br />Shaving him did not cut down on the shedding or the duration of time he shed. The only thing that was different was that instead of long hair all over the place, it was short. His hair grew back perfectly fine and we haven't shaved him since.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124984019558481189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-52496024606124546872010-04-29T19:56:01.521-05:002010-04-29T19:56:01.521-05:00Hi All - I know you posted over a year ago but if ...Hi All - I know you posted over a year ago but if anyone is still around I would love to know how the shaving of GS turned out? Did their hair grow back without any problems? I recently moved in with my fiance who has a beautiful GS. Well now that spring has hit it is like fur city in the house. I can't keep up and it drives me insane. I would love to get her shaved or at least trimmed super short but have read all the bad press on shaving a GS. Just wondering how the other shave GS turned out. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397423674023144400.post-27047711226155203702010-04-21T20:11:23.753-05:002010-04-21T20:11:23.753-05:00Jack and I watched it and it made us sick.

I had already been buying from local farmers markets in the summer, going to organic dairy, and adding in organic fruits and veggies...but this made me really rethink regular meat. Now I buy meat that's only grass fed and it tastes so much better! The first pork chop I made was perhaps the most delicious I've ever had. <br />A friend of mine just turned me onto this new cookware that keeps metal out from your food. Saladsomethingorother. I'll have to think about what the name was. <br />I'm also doing Jillian Michael's Master Your Metabolism.

Things you never thought you'd be saying! She promptly got freaked out. I told her that this kind of weird crap/wait and see nonsense is going to happen to me all the time. I was diagnosed with this stupidity in Sept 2009, so like yourself, I'm new to all of this. I always catch myself wondering: Is this (insert malady here) normal? Is that (insert weird sensation here) normal? Arrrrgggghhh!!!!! None of it is effing normal!!!!!! Sometimes I'm cool, calm, collected, strong, rational, and all that good stuff, and sometimes, I'm just plain old angry!
