Re: [PyrNet-L] Anais shedding

Stephanie-
     I wouldn't be too worried about this, it is normal. I work in a grooming 
shop and I have noticed a lot of dogs blowing their coats in the past few 
weeks. It may be due to a little warmer weather here, or in Anais' case, she 
is a puppy and that is common. Also, when my Pyr's blow their coats, it often 
happens in sections. The upper rear leg is a big area and I can brush and 
brush there for days and it still keeps coming. After awhile, they start 
blowing in other places too, like around the neck. Don't be concerned. Pyr's 
have even more hair than you thought they did when they are blowing coat! If 
this keeps up and she starts to get bald spots, I would have a vet look at 
her. Otherwise, just keep brushing and try not to irritate her skin by doing 
so. Good luck!
