WHY is my German Shepherd, Dakota, shedding now??

Asked by Dutchess_III (46807points) January 3rd, 2011

We’re moving into the absolute coldest part of the year. As expected, the highs are in the 20’s at this time of year.

Now, twice a year she sheds, and I mean fur is EVERYWHERE for two weeks. I have to vacuum twice a day. It’s bad.
She sheds in the spring/early summer, which makes absolute sense, but she also sheds in the middle of winter, which doesn’t.
Can some one explain?
Can someone also buy me a Dyson ball vacuum cleaner instead of this POS Walmart cheapy, too?
