Do Australian Shepherds shed their fur?

Yes, Australian Shepherds do shed their fur, but they are considered a moderate shedder. They have a double coat, which means they have a soft, dense undercoat and a longer, coarser topcoat. This type of coat sheds seasonally, with heavier shedding in the spring and fall as they transition between their winter and summer coats.

However, regular brushing can help manage shedding and keep it under control. It's important to brush your Aussie at least a few times a week, especially during shedding season, to remove loose fur and prevent mats and tangles. You can also use a shedding blade or tool to help with this process.

While Australian Shepherds are not considered excessive shedders, they do require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and manage shedding.
