Is Moulting Natural In Autumn ?

[yorkshirelass]

We have just re-homed a lovely 6 year old dog who we think is a Border collie/ king Charles cross. She is medium sized and has a black and tan top coat with a grey/white undercoat. She moults a lot, big lumps of black soft hair all over the place every day all day ! She has a good diet dog kibble, cooked chicken and we brush her coat everyday. Just wondered if this was normal hair loss in these breeds ?

Maybe your home is warmer than her previous one. I had a KC and he shed hair every day of the year. I daresay the same goes for collies.

You betcha!
I have a GSD x Collie and the old boy always molts like crazy at this time of the year.

Yes, as others say, this is normal yorkishrelass. My own dog who is part collie is shedding large lumps of hair just now. Keeps the Hoover working overtime !
