Our kids are around 24 weeks old (we estimate) and are starting to shed. I wanted to know if it is them just getting rid of their baby coats or if their little biological clocks are off. I assumed shedding was a semi annual thing, fall and spring. Brushing them with a wire brush is a horrible ordeal at the moment, they have to be scruffed. Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated.
