Before we brought Sammi home we had reads of websites, blogs and watched numerous YouTube videos on the pros and cons of a Shiba Inu. One particular item to note was that a Shiba has two layers of fur but they don't shed; instead they blow their coat. Now this only happens once or twice a year and is apparently quite manageable. So for 8 months of a year our house was fur free... then for the 4 months including leading into summer and summer itself... we were in Shiba fur hell.
We bought a furminator because that helps a lot in brushing away the undercoat but we had NO idea the extent to which the fur would come off. Enough fur had come off to make another Shiba Inu! Below was just his first brush. After which we brushed him once a week and the same amount of fur came off.
