I always look like I took a roll in one of the dog beds before I left the house no matter how hard I try not to. I have just learned it is an occupational hazzard of being a GSD owner.LOL MY DOGS...MY RULES

When that time comes I'll probably be looking at one of the small terriers." Don't need to groom them? I'd love to have mine in the house too. And in the bed! But 4 and all rather big ones??? Poor husband! Anne, were you in the dog's beds or the dogs in yours? Or was is just because of the shedding that you looked like that? “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

They, on average shed less then most dogs. We've only had one bed dog and that was one of my Border terriers. We called him our bed rock because once his head hit the bed he was out! If he was in the wrong spot you could drag him by a leg to another spot and he would never woke up. He was more catlike in his sleeping habits. Sleep on a pile of rocks, a hot black top drive way in the summer, middle of a snow covered yard, etc. The dog really knew how to relax. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

My Pits I would rarely need to groom but I do because they love it, and I wash them, because they stink quite rapidly. The nails I don't dare to cut, because I don't want to injure them, but they don't get long because lots of walks. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

Trooper, at 9 1/2 has never had to have his trimmed. Go figure! Different shaped feet/nails wear differently. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Strangely I discovered now within that topic that my own toe nails grow more slowly than my finger nails, but not because of walking! Though will probably need a groomer too. Without J. Is it very delicate to learn to clip a dog's nails? Just in case. The next groomer is at least half an hour away from us. Luckily I myself have white (or red or blue) nails! Black can occasionally happen! Didn't know the colour had something to do with the growing.

Neither my one Akita, nor any of my four Basenjis ever needed to have their nails clipped -- Both of those breeds are famous for "grooming themselves like a cat does" ... And though they did NOT utilize a cat scratching post, they would each use their own teeth to self-trim any nails that might get a bit long
