Yes, unfortunately, but almost all dogs do. They shed in the Spring and Summer(Not as bad in the summer, but terrible in the Spring) but not in the fall or winter. Hope I helped!

All dogs shed. However, labs have short fur vs. like a collie which has long hair like fur. Therefore it is less noticeable when they shed.

Since they are a mix between a Springer and a Lab and both of those shed, the answer is yes. However, I am amazed at how much LESS my labradinger sheds over the average lab. They are awesome

Can you get a shorthaired golden retriever?

No. Goldens have medium-length hair with varying amounts of feathering. (Feathering is longer hair on certain spots ... Google some images of Golden Retrievers and you will see differences in the amount of feathering.) If you want a short-haired retriever get a Labrador Retriever .. they have short hair all over without feathering. (Labs are more energetic and somewhat less easier to train than Goldens though.) Just a thought .... but if you are looking for a "shorthaired Golden" because you think short-haired dogs shed less .... that is NOT at all true!! That is a persistent myth for some strange reason but it has absolutely NO basis in reality. Short hair does NOT mean the dog will automatically shed less. In fact, most short-haired dog breeds shed far MORE than Goldens ... examples are Dalmations and Corgis. Both those breeds shed FAR more than Goldens ... they just shed a lot of shorter hairs! Another fact is that most non-shedding breeds also happen to have the LONGEST hair ... like Maltese and Shih Tzu breeds.

Do Jack Russells shed?

Yes, yes, and Yes! The short haired Jack sheds very much. The Long haired Jack sheds even more, if your looking for a dog that doesn't shed, Poodles don't shed. The proper AKC designation is now " Parson Russell Terrier " , and yes they do shed quite a bit, even the short-hairs, but daily brushing followed by wiping with a damp [not wet ] cloth or grooming glove to get all the loose hairs off will help keep it down and youe house cleaner.Of cousre , it depends a lot on getting these little dynamos to keep still .

Do labrador retriever mix dogs shed?

It depends on what they are mixed with! Labs themselves shed a lot! (I know from personal experience), but depending on what they are mixed with they might not shed as much or at all. You would have to research the traits of the other breed it is mixed with!
