Do Westies shed a lot?
Yvonne says: Not if they are kept groomed. Westies’ old, dead hairs don’t fall out. What will happen is that an unbrushed Westie will get bigger and bigger looking until eventually he looks like a walking bundle of hair. If he gets anywhere close to this look, the hair will rub off against objects the dog touches – walls, fences, furniture and human legs, just to name a few. If your dog is kept groomed and is thoroughly brushed once a week, you can be sure that there will be very little loose hair lying around! Monique says: I have noticed that my Westies shed their undercoat twice a year for about two weeks. During this time, they need to be brushed thoroughly once a day. After that period is gone, they shed almost no hair.
