@momofthreeboys Great use of the hair. Maybe you can sell them

@momofthreeboys I’m not sure if your question was just rhetorical, but the undercoat is precisely because of the hot, dusty environment. It’s not like wearing a jacket for humans, it’s more like a protective layer against the sun, elements, rain, etc. You may notice when it rains that the rain appears to bead off the cattle dog, this is because of the undercoat.

@imagebeastmarkbeast Understood, but why does it have to continuously shed? (Sorry, my empirical evidence proves the “twice yearly” claim as bogus.)

@momofthreeboys I’m not sure. It could be dietary. Sorry I don’t have a better answer to that!
@momofthreeboys My boy (5YO) is on constant blowout mode bc we live in NW FL. It’s 110 here now, and will be 80 degrees in December to January. Doesn’t truly get cold til about mid Jan to Feb. it’s exhausting. I’ve been reduced to vacuuming with my shop vac- and even that needs to be cleaned twice a week (thankgod for filters)
@momofthreeboys I often wonder why my two aren’t completely bald 
that said, you must accept this and become one with the dog hair
that said, you must accept this and become one with the dog hair @momofthreeboys My Blue boy is all ACD, and sheds like crazy, 24/7. My red is half Red Heeler, half Irish Wolfhound. He is even worse.
I just tell people when they come to my place to be aware they WILL go home covered in hair.
Just recently renovated and deliberately chose a carpet that will hide the Dog Hair.
At least between the thrice weekly vacuuming.
Worst part is as the Red has got older, won’t let me brush him past his shoulders.
Even his favourite human friend, won’t let her brush him either.
So they both go to the groomer every 4-5 weeks. I asked the girls there if they give them any problems, but apparently they are pure angels for them….
BASTARDS….

@momofthreeboys They’re an outdoor dog. I don’t know to many people that own cattle dogs and let them in the house.
@momofthreeboys I also have this problem with my barn cat. She sheds and sheds and sheds and sheds!
