PLEASE! does anyone know how many times u have to brush a norwegian elkhound to not have hair in my house?

Answer 1

OMG, this is a dog with such a thick undercoat he's like a chinchilla on steroids. You'll never be hair free with a dog like this.

Brush every day, and get into the undercoat to get the loose stuff. These dogs were bred to live in cold climates and be outdoors in Scandinavian countries. Their fur is thick, dense and designed to hold body heat in bad weather.

You can call a breeder of this type of dog and ask for suggestions, they give that free over the phone. Lots of them are listed online, just do a google.com search.

Answer 2

The number of times won't be as important and the method of brushing. Might try a different method of brushing. You have a
double coated breed, like a husky, sheltie, or lab. There are MANY double
coated breeds. Double coated means there are coarse guard hairs on the top
layer, and a soft, fine fluffy layer underneath. The best method of
grooming is called line brushing. You lift the coat against the grain with
one hand, and literally seperate out a line 1/2 to 1 inch wide, and brush it
out with a slicker brush until all the loose undercoat and tangles are gone.
Do this line by line until the whole dog is brushed. Then take a comb
through to get any undercoat and tangles that were missed.

I have a one year old German Shepherd Dog so I really sympathize!! I try to brush her every day. I use a special tool called a shedding blade.It works great and she tolerates it better than a brush. You can get it at any pet supply store. Happy Brushing!!

Answer 4

I think you have to brush them at least daily.. Vacuum daily and you'll at least keep the hair under control some..
