A question for Labrador owners
how often does yours moult and how long does it last?
I thought Labs were only supposed to moult twice a year and it should only last a week or so?
My chocolate lab is moulting like crazy and has been for weeks. Brushing isn't helping, as soon as I brush handfuls of hair off I brush again and it doesn't diminsh.
Having googled it seems a common problem which i'd not heard of before and seems even more common in the chocolates.
Anyone else have an incredible moulting Labrador?

yep - my pedigree Black Lab (gun dog) moults all fookin year. Hairy ******!! 
Still we've got laminate on most floors so, it just collects in the corners.
After having Labs for most of my life, Golden Labs seem to moult more than the other colours. And b1tches more so than the dogs.

Ive had labradors for years, does anyone else find their moulting gets heavier as they get older?
It seems to come out in clumps at times, especially around the back legs
Still love them though, hairy buggers

Its how they shed their coats mate lol. My male is going through the worst stage of it now, the girl has not started badly yet lol. Lots and lots of brushing needed for a couple of weeks til its all gone.
Sometimes we take them to the park in the still of the night and do them, makes a proper mess but the wildlife love the bedding for their nests etc.
In the meantime the house is a bit messy right now lol
Oh and back on topic for a sec.... Dog owners might want to try a Furminator. Does an amazing job of raking a dogs coat. And I mean AMAZING !

We used to have a black one years ago. Yes he moulted just like all the others and we just had to put up with it.
They are such lovely natured and loyal dogs that it was easy to forgive him all his hairy moments!

i have a husky, and snazy your so right the furminator is the best tool for grooming any dog.
i would avoid getting a golden retriever and labradors as its frightening how many of their owners go blind.
