Different dog breeds shed in different amounts: Some shed seasonally, while others shed year-round. This depends on the type of coat your dog has. A Golden Retriever , for example, has a thicker double-coat , which makes it more likely to shed year-round.
While single-coated dogs often seem to shed less, their hair loss is consistent year-round. On the other hand, double-coated dogs follow a shedding cycle and blow their coat twice a year any shedding the rest of the year is minimal and results from normal hair turnover.
Double-coated dog breeds are recognized for their lush, insulated coats and heavy seasonal shedding. This coat is an all-weather coat that works naturally with a dog's own heating system.
