They barely shed at all apart from when they start moulting do they?

thats a myth mate...His top coat "drops" all year round, not heavy, just normal drop I suppose but it gets everywhere, and he completely sheds the undercoat once a year, but it can last quite a while....

I'm not basing it on what I've heard! We've got a Northern Inuit with as at the moment and I didn't get a single hair come out when grooming him!

ah...don't know much if anything about NI's to be honest...
but not one single hair...???...totally different to husky's then...lol
Even when storm has finished his blowout, he still drops....nowhere near as bad but I fear I will never be able to say I brushed him and not one single hair came out...lol

yeah, I've been racking my brains trying to pinpoint when storm sheds his undercoat....I'm pretty sure it is just once tbh, but it lasts quite a while...I have read it is purely down to environment/climate as to when and how long the blowout lasts....

you have a beauty there

my northern inuits drop the top coat all year, and then blow there under coat big time proberly due to start but i dont have carpet phew much easier to clean up.

They look stunning by the way.
Had a little look on google last night reading up on NI's out of interest....they seem the perfect pet, beautiful and loving...what more could you want.?...apart from the ability to keep hold of their own hair of course..lol
