>>She is shedding copious amounts of hair, and no amount of
brushing, using a doggie shed blade, etc., seems to help.I’m very tired of vacuuming, and ready
to invest in a BIG bottle of Nair.:o(
Hum...I think it's the shepherd in her, they shed a lot! Have you
thought about getting her clipped by a groomer? Don't know which shed blade you
are using, but the pros like to use the Mars Coat King, it really works great,
even on horses http://www.groomersmall.com/coat_kings.htm
