i am of the opinion that dogs should come with a 'shed guideline' as well as a 'size' , 'activity level', and 'drool factor' in the dog guidebooks. these are things you need to KNOW.
"I mean how many people buy a Jack Russel terrier without understanding that it is, in fact, a 80lb dog that has been compressed into the 25 pound frame? its the spring tension that accounts for all the 'sproing' of a Jack Russel...."

(And cats, too, but they usually don't come with guidelines at all. It sometimes seems like one of mine sheds enough every month to make another whole cat. It's probably not true, but I can't prove it...)
