An ex-housemate of ours had a pure-bred huskie and a malamute-huskie cross - when they were shedding there were drifts of fur a few inches thick! Dear heavens above, but it got *everywhere*! The thought of *25* at time is just mindboggling.

He has had up to 25 dogs at his acreage at one time. That's a LOT of dog fluff! My Malamutt every spring would shed a garbage bag's worth of soft undercoat, her favorite thing was to sit with me outside and let me pull handfuls of the stuff off of her - much easier than trying to scratch it off herself I'm sure. A friend of my uncle's would come and collect the fluff from him and other Malamute and Samoyed owners then spin and knit the colletion every year, she made a nice bit of money at the season's dog shows selling the results. Softer than you might think, and very warm. :-) Sheridan (missing my dog now...) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _____________________________________________________________ Sluggy.Net: The Sluggy Freelance Community! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
