Reply #68: The real problem with BMD's shedding is that they

[RichardRay]

have a coat that is part BLACK, part WHITE and part RUST. The result is that there is almost nothing that you can wear that doesn't show at least one of those colors. The don't shed all the time, but when they do it's a freaking blizzard! They are really great with kids. I had a neighbor whose 7 year old daughter was fighting cancer. I had a very big BMD then and he was a boisterous boy, but when that little girl wandered over he became the most sedate, gentle big lover you can imagine.

He was a very good boy...
