blowing coats early?

Cue the striptease music now. In the fine New Orleans burlesque tradition, Obie's been working to dispense with coat for weeks now. Lord knows, I want some of that coat off him too.. we're having 80 degree days already and the a/c is cranking. So, I've been at him with the full arsenal.. blower, mck, rake, brush and comb. I was delighted by the new rake suggestion though, since the one I've had dates back to Kirby and the handle broke a few days ago. I'll happily add that to our arsenal. He needs a bath in a big way, but I am always hesitant to wet him down when all that undercoat is in motion for fear of a felted up, matty mess in some hidden, hard to access spot! :tequila:

My Mojo is blowing coat like crazy, Guess it was due to almost no sub-freezing temps this past winter. He grew a huge undercoat at my breeders (on a mountain) but now is blowing it all. <sigh>

Mila started blowing hers something like 3 weeks ago. Good times! I thank god for my rake, my slicker and my blower. And my Dyson.

Gotta love my Dyson too. And just bought an Orek Steamer to get rid of the spring mud on the tile, hardwood, rugs. Love it too.

We are hot in South Carolina. Loki has been getting in the pool several times a day now.Although many of you disagree, we have them clipped down using a#4 guide..it keeps there coats intact but lightens the load and is easier to rake out. I had 3 newfs last year for the coat blowout! all 3blew out differently and 2 were sisters. Lots of dog hair tumble weeds in my home!

My Dyson died ...Very expensive to fix. Back to the Wertheim (Miele)

We blow twice a year...Lukey goes almost naked in Summer, no way I could show him. Katy keeps a heavy coat and Annabelle in the middle.

I use my blower all the time......the best

I also use my k911 to help with the undercoat, I do it once a week
