my other furbaby is a rott-shepard mix (I call her my rotten shepard

) The hair is bad, very bad, and honestly i brush mine once a week and my dad does her once a week too (with a shedding brush) I have the "no-shed" shampoo and that doesn't work.
there is just a lot of hair and a lot of cleaning up....
To be honest though, there is nothing like the love of a big dog, i wouldn't trade my Alexis for the world, she was my original furbaby and is just that, a big baby. The love she gives is well worth the extra sweeping
hope this helps
