Hi guys! I used to have the same problem with my jack russell but now I found a solution.... I used Deshedding shampoo once in a week (because it's pricey)and also a furminator! It really helped a whole lot. I also have allergic rhinitis and dog's hair can be a problem for me, after I use the furminator it solved the problem. Imagine there is a lot of unwanted hair sticking on our pet's body that causes allergies. Also I make it a point to brush my dog's hair 2x a day and it also helped minimizing hair falling around the house. Hope this helps.... oh by the way I got the furminator when I saw this home movie www.stromwindkennel.multiply.com (this is not a referral link and this is not my site either just posted this for reference).

Hi vidasandi, I had a white german shepherd a few years ago and know exactly what you are going through. Fortunately my daughter was taking animal care and production at school at the time. In the grooming part, she was tested on her grooming skills, (which she is the only one that had a great grade in this section) and the judge for her skill is also a judge for dog shows.


Below I have posted a picture of the brush we use that we bought off this judge. I can send you her e-bay site if you want. Also how you brush makes a big difference. You have to get to the undercoat as well as the top coat. To do that you pull up the fur and brush underneath. I also bought a comb to clean the brush out. I am glad we invested in this product since I now have 2 puppies, a border collie/beagle mix and though one is long hair and the other is short hair, they both shed..

Also, you may have to vacuum every other day if not daily until the worse of the shedding is over..

I hope this helps..
