For as long as it has fur. Very honestly, just like us, any animal that has fur/hair, will shed or drop that same fur/hair. Many breeds will blow coat (a very heavy shedding) twice a year in the spring and fall... but any animal with fur or hair will drop some of it here and there. There is simply no avoiding it. If your dog is shedding way too much then you might need to take them to the vet. They may be lacking something in their diet. But if it is not accessive then they can shed all the time, it just won't be alot of fur. Try brushing your dogs fur when they are laying down, this will help to bring up any fur that is lose and has not fallen off the dog yet. Most dogs do shed, but not all dogs. Poodles don't nor do Bichon Frises (and some other breeds.) As far as most breeds they do shed and the other posters are correct. If your dog is in the house a lot just the dry air can make them shed more (just like humans and also it can dry the skin out.) Good grooming of your pet is the answer. Short-haired dogs are easy to maintain. Bichon Frises have a very close wool type hair and it doesn't flow long, but can get extremely thick and I have to have my groomer come about every 2 - 3 months. Meanwhile I always brush my two dogs and cat while watching TV every night. Collies, Border Collies or other long-haired dogs should be brush every day. A good physical by the vet once a year is a good idea as well.

∙ 14y agoPuppies get fur right away. As soon a puppy is born it already has fur. Depending on the breed, that puppy will have a certain amount of fur. Most newborn puppies are usually born with fur but some breeds, like the Chinese crested are mostly born with little or no fur. And this only happens with the hairless Dog Breeds.
