Our Schipperke dog, Raven has been blowing for the past few days and it's really not pleasant. Forgive the non-PC-ness but she is like chemo-dog with great clumps of her undercoat just dropping from her body to the bedspread, couch, all over the house, whereever she goes. Two times so far--fur in my eye--yuck and it hurts as I wear contacts.
And no matter what they say about brushing you can do that until you are blue in the face and she still sheds and will continue to do so in great volumes until she gets herself fully prepared for winter.
The Schipperke dog is small, with oval brown eyes, triangular upright ears and a face that resembles that of a fox. The body must appear to be square when viewed from the side while the chest must be wide and should reach the elbows. It also has a distinctive double coat – a soft undercoat covered by a rough, shaggy outer coat. A long ruff also surrounds the Schipperke’s neck, particularly the nape, the chest as well as the back of its hind legs.
