Do Border Collies Shed Much?

During most of the year, the border collie sheds a moderate amount. Brushing your dog two to three times a week to remove dead hair is typically plenty to keep the shedding under control. Twice a year, however, that shedding goes into overdrive.

How bad to Border Collies shed?

The unfortunate answer for most is, yes. They are a long-haired double-coated breed and tend to shed a lot. Twice a year, things can go from bad to worse pretty quickly — in fall and spring, they shed excessively. Many owners describe Border Collie shedding as a full-time maintenance job.

How do I get my border collie to stop shedding?

You can't stop a Border collie from shedding. But you can take control of it with a simple routine. Brush your collie out three times a week with a pin brush or slicker brush. Personally I recommend a good slicker brush as it's more effective in removing loose hair and surface level mats.
