We are used to dogs shedding by all means but it's been so long since we've had a puppy.
Are lab is 4 months 2 weeks old and is blowing his coat.
We brush him with the Furminator which helped tremendously... BUT... we heard that the first shedding of a puppy is the worst... is that true or a old wives tale?

When they blow their puppy coat that will be bad. Adults blow their coats twice a year with bitches and once a year with dogs. That will be the worst. Bitches always blow their coat after a season. If you have a ***** and she is spayed then she will only lose her coat once in a year. That's a small part of the contention over allowing altered bitches to show in the ring. May I say a VERY small part.
Edit: Good food will keep your dog from shedding as much during the times between when they actually blow it.

I have a 3 yr old black lab and shedding is a hugh problem. I keep mine shaved to minimize the mess.

They shed less once they get their adult coats. The puppy coats are the worst.

it is a wives tale, it is when they get older the hair will come shedding out more
