Haha! Thanks man! Yeah, a bit of wishful thinking. We owned a Husky and a Malamute growing up so I vaguely remember. I know that in the spring and fall there are literally piles of fur. Came off in clumps. Minimal shedding in between though or maybe my mother was just very good at making it look that way.
I actually picked up a Furminator for him off of eBay for a phenomenal price compared to local retailers. $24 shipped.
