Man oh man, I bet that poor pooch feels better now. Poor baby must have
never been brushed at all.

They shed, and believe me I know because I have six of them sharing my home
right now, but that pile of hair is pretty scary.

We don't call them German Shedherds for nothing!

Passed that along to a confirmed GSD junkie... She was not in as much awe
as I was (a bullmastiff owner). I thought getting the blown coat off the
ferrets in the Spring was bad...

I wonder if that pile was the whole season's coat blow, or what. It's
a pretty respectable pile, but then again, I have three Siberians in
my house and just brushed a pretty good-sized pile off a Borzoi today.
Ferrets blow coat?

Yup - ferrets blow coat. Moved from Texas to Oklahoma 2 years ago. It took
until the second winter for them to form a thicker coat. They actually
change coat or only actually grow or regrow hair, twice a year - Spring and
Fall. If your ferret needs shaved in say, Feb for surgery - they may well
be bald in that spot until Fall when the winter coat starts.

Actually pretty close to rabbit hair in consistency.

With 3 Siberians, I would really hate to see a hair pile that impresses
you.....
