He doesn't shed as much throughout the year but his seasonal shedding is just as much. However, his hair seems thinner or of a different consistency; unlike my goldens, even when I am on the floor loving on him, his hair does not stick to my clothes so I don't look like I just came from a groomer. It is long and slick but mainly sticks to the floor...

Hope this helps!

      I'm with Cathy Burka! I have two F2Bs that do not shed. It's wonderful. I've owned plenty of shedding dogs. It's always "clean-up time" after my daughter and her husband visit with their golden. Ask... more
