Do they SHED?

By Fran

I always get the question ‘do they shed?’ So thought it might be nice to show that YES they do shed especially when they ‘blow their coats’. No other breed is quite as good as a Leo when it comes to ‘blowing their coats’.  Sometimes they look like they have almost NO hair at all after it all comes out all over your house!  Like the story goes a picture is worth a thousand words so here are a few pictures of our Stella.  She is a four year old female Leo who has a beautiful medium length coat.  Well these pictures are of ONE brushing!  Just ONE!  So you can see Leos do shed!  Stella is very happy in her summer attire.  It is hot outside so she is much more comfortable with all that Leo undercoat gone.  The best way to get the undercoat out is to give them a nice bath with quality dog shampoo and then dry the coat with a blow dryer.  That loosens up all the fur and you can rake it out more easily.  Leos like to be brushed so that never is a problem. They like the attention:-).  Happy brushing!
