I get more than that when I vacuum the living room. German Shepherds have two layers of hair, and I have two of them.
That is one beautiful animal, I always loved huskies. That looks like cotton balls..LOL
If you are getting more than that hair when you vacuum, you need to get your dogs groomed. Huskies blow fur more than sheppards. Both animals are dual coated. huskies just blow more fur. I have bathed and dryed both and I dread doing huskies. LOL, I guess that is why I dont do the grooming anymore.

I know you gotta tilt your head a little, but man. And this doesnt show the fur that was in the tub or what came out during the prebrushing. I believe this is all just from the drying process.
You should post one of those matted shave downs that look like you skinned the pet. Love to have our groomer give those back to owner's in a plastic bag.

Speaking of skinning a cat:
It is Spook, our long hair cat. He was the brother to tigger, the striped short hair we had. Every spring we try to give him his lion cut. Last year he was too skinny and sick to get the cut. My wife does this because she knows i love it. Spook has been in my lap constantly since he got the cut. I'll try to get a better picture of him.

My brother-in-law had a samoyed/husky mix and it shed like that every spring. It literally had sheets of that fine fur come off in large "carpets". That poor guy never had a piece of clothing that wasn't covered in fur. Great pic!

I also can't stand the look of pugs.
It looks like they took a beagle and smalled it head first into a cement wall.

Yup, the shorter the fur, the shorter the life cycle of each hair and the more frequently it needs to be replaced. Hence, more shedding! Our pug sheds of course, but it's our "poodle" that sheds the most! LOL
Flower, first tell us what you feed, If you are already on a good food, there may be other things we can suggest to minimize shedding. And of course regular grooming done professionally will help. See if anyone in your area offers a shed reducing groom. It does cut down on the shedding because it simply gets more coat out than regular grooming alone. I offer it and have for years with great success. Just too tired after doing everyone elses dogs to do my own! Heck I use our poodle as a demo dog at grooming shows so I don't have to give him a hair cut LOL.
PS, you couldn't PAY me to own a husky! Not only the coat but they are screamers, whiners and SOOOO vocal. Most of the time when they are being groomed you would think someone was amputating a limb. The two I groom now are very quiet and sweet, but overall most of the huskies I have groomed over the years have not been the most trustworthy. If they didn't like what I was doing they didn't have much hesitation to show and try to use some teeth. I have known some wonderful ones, but they are not the breed for me.
