my dog doesn't shed

wasn't sure where to post this, so went with grooming

so, every time someone meets Cambridge and asks how much hair it around my house I tell them he doesn't shed. they then spend the next 5 minutes petting him and looking down at their hands, as if I'm not telling them the truth.

from the people at petsmart! to my neighbors

I can't decide if I'm annoyed or amused.

does this happen to everyone :?:

Yes, this ALWAYS happens to me as well, unless someone is familar with the breed! People expect that you have fur all over the house and that they shed a lot. It is definitely an education!! I don't mind educating though since it isn't a breed that you see very often and people just are amazed at their beauty. :wag:
LOL...it never ends! 8)
I know that when I say that Mady doesn't shed, people say that they want to get a sheepdog. Then I tell them that my house is covered in sand, leaves and sticks that she brings in on that non-shedding coat of hers and they change their minds. :wink:
8O :excited:
You wait till you get to the puppy/junior coat stage & there will be fun :headbang: :sidestep:
I run into that everywhere I go. I usually say, Ya, they don't shed, but do need a lot of brushing. The way I look at it, I would rather brush them a couple times a week then have to run my vacuum everyday!!

Good mantra.......the rest of us can use that when people ask.
This could be an actual voice recording of me walking Mady downtown on a busy Saturday afternoon:

"Actually they don't shed, they keep all their hair, which is why she has so much of it".

Hmmmm...new ring tone for my phone :cow: :cow:
haha, i own one and still dont believe it. Every day i'm wondering why Kenny is going to shed. hahahahahh
LOLOLOLOL :clappurple:
HAha!! It's so funny . . . we're staying with my grandmother now and she is surprised by the lack of hair on everything . . . but not a fan of the hair-ball-dust-bunny-things, either!! Bingley is an excellent "hair-puller-outer" when he has a scratch!! :D
I loved reading these! People don't believe me either. And, I agree that brushing a dog is a lot more fun than vacuuming up fur!! :wag: :wag:
