I know they molt loads in summer but do they molt as much in winter or not?

Ours randomly moults at odd periods throughout the year. It makes no difference as to the season, when she moults, she really moults!

Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, sometimes more heavily than other times. Love my labrador, hate the hair everywhere!!

Oh God yes, all year round with my lovely and much missed lab.

Ramdomly, all the time and whenever I hoover Grin Yellow one waits till dark carpet is hoovered and then, lying down, rubs and rolls around in big circles. Bless him!

Had 3 different labs in the past and they all moulted all year round, sorry!

Labradorlover · 05/10/2010 14:11

Bigofnoorks having a lab IS the silver lining!
Get several in at least 2 shades and really enjoy the hair......

Yes they do and especially at the moment seems to be a bad time of the year for it! Get a Furminator!
