do cavalier king charles spaniels malt (shed fur)?

Question

if they do, do they shed a little or alot?

Answer 1

Only an average amount. If you are not going to show your dog it is best to get a 'puppy cliip' where the fur is about 3/4 of an inch all over - this is much more comfortable and hygienic and reduces the amount of grooming you need to do.

You should brush the dog's fur every night and this will keep shedding to a minimum as loose hairs are removed by the brush.

Cavvie's nails grow very fast so be sure to check them every week and don't forget to trim the dewclaws.

Answer 2

King Charles Spaniel Shed

Answer 3

YES YES YES!!! They shed a heap of fur and it just goes everywhere! My boyfriends mum has one and her hair was all over the place. I used to be their cleaner and once i was done i would not let that little hair ball anywhere near the place for a couple of days, just because the moment you let her in the fur is everywhere again. I took her to get shaved and i got as much as possible shaved off her and now the problem isnt nearly as bad but its still pretty bad. I wouldnt reccomend this breed of dog unless your prepared for all the hours of grooming that they require. Beautiful natured dog but.

The word is 'Molt" and for a dog it is called "Shed". Dogs shed and don't molt. Yes they do. Shedding is a spring event for many breeds. Check on the internet for "non-shedding dog breeds". This is a comprehensive list:

Affenpinschers, Airedale Terriers, American Hairless Terriers, Australian Terriers, Basenjis, Bedlington Terriers, Belgian Shepherd Laekenois, Bergamascos, Bichon Frises, Bichon/Yorkie mixes, Bologneses, Border Terriers, Bouvers des Flanders, Brussels Griffons, Cairn Terriers, Cesky Terriers, Chi-Poos, Chinese Cresteds, Cockapoos, Coton De Tulears, Dandie Dinmont Terriers, Doodleman Pinschers, Giant Schnauzers, Glen of Imaal Terriers, Hairless Khalas, Havaneses, Irish Terriers, Irish Water Spaniels, Italian Greyhounds, Kerry Blue Terriers, Komondors, Labradoodles, Lagotto Romagnolos, Lakeland Terriers, Lowchens, Malteses, Malti-Poos, Manchester Terriers, Mi-Kis, Miniature Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Norfolk Terriers, Norwich Terriers, Peruvian Inca Orchids (looks kind of like a Chihuahua), Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens, Poos (Poodle Mixes), Portuguese Water Dogs, Pulis, Schnoodles, Scottish Terriers, Sealyham Terriers, Shepadoodles, Shichons, Silky Terriers, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Spanish Water Dogs, Standard Poodles, Standard Schnauzers, Tibetan Terriers, Toy Poodles, Welsh Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, Wirehaired Fox Terriers, Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, and Yorkshire Terriers.

Keep in mind, these breeds do loose hair, but it is more in the way humans loose hair (a few hairs on a daily basis, not a whole dog's worth of hair in a few weeks).

Answer 5

If you don't keep them brushed they seem to shed a lot! Mine gets this thing called Hot Spot in the summer if I don't get her hair cut! It makes her itch and the skin feels hot to the touch and they can itch it so much it will become raw and irratated. Then I take her to the vet and they give her a shot and give me two different pills I have to give her, I know more info. than you wanted to know right? Sorry yes they can shed alot!

Answer 6

yes they shed. and it will depend on how often and how well you brush and have them groomed. and dog's don't molt, or malt, but i have no idea what malt is, ducks and other birds molt. dog's shed.
