Ya, lol...it's normal.
My girl sheds an insane amount. The proper CC coat should have a thick undercoat, which means shedding.
Who ever said they were light shedding dog lied! :D

Well thanx cody that is a relief 2 know because I also read that about the cc real light shudders if any ....I was thinking maybe it was the diet or something worst .....because I brush him just about every week and man! The furminator pulls out a bunch of his coat it looks like a caterpillar ..Haha

I know, lol, when the first fur tumbleweeds blew across my floor I wondered who wrote that they were light shedders on Wikipedia :D
I find for mine there is about a 2 week period in the spring where her coat almost changes color from the amount of dead fur coming out, you can see it in patches if I don't brush every day, then is light until fall where we have another 2 weeks of everywhere. Otherwise if I sweep every day and vacuum once a week we are good.

I always think its amazing how much undercoat you can brush out of dogs that you would think not shed that much

Also a well balanced diet will help with shedding. Not many people know that..

I think I give them a pretty good meal I feed him natural balance (Dick Van patton)boils carrots flaxseed a multi vitamin and an inch of lamb meat roll also Dick Van patton .....n let me tell you they love it .
