He seems to be doing OK even with the hair loss. I haven’t found any bald spots or anything of that sort. He is a short haired chi with a very thick coat. The hair around his scar from the neuter surgery has grown back. He was neutered just a week or so before I adopted him so he had a little hair loss on his belly from that surgery.

It does take a while for them to adjust to new surroundings. ________________________________ From: "Dunwoody, Amanda" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, December 6, 2010 10:24:23 AM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Chi Shedding MJ, That’s a very good point that you make regarding being comfy in the home. I wondered if Jack’s shedding had anything to do with the fact that I just adopted him and he’s still adjusting to his new surroundings.

I find it does a credible job. Benji is short coat and sheds year round. Not so much now that it is colder and she is more comfy living with us. ________________________________ From: Peggy & The Girls <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, December 6, 2010 10:16:33 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Chi Shedding Does a Chi Ever stop shedding? Gig finished her heat by the end of Aug. Then at the end of Sept she got spayed. So I expected she would go through a heavy shed due to hormonal changes. But now that two months have passed, I don't see the shedding lighting up, if anything it's worse. I thought that after two months from the spaying that she would stop shedding. Is this normal for a Chi? Do they shed all year around? Also I have two old fantastic lint removers that work great for Eskie fur, but don't for Chi fur. It's like the chi fur sticks into the material like needles. What brand and type do you ladies use to get it off of your clothes and furniture? <http://members.chello.nl/aasteekelenburg/>
