Shelley, I have a shedding blade that I have used on Natasha. Something that works even better, in my opinion, is a tool called the "Furminator". I have also used brushes, combs, gloves and something called the zoom groom which works well also. I'm glad that you and Judson have found something that works. When I do wear black slacks, I just pretend that I don't notice the cashmere accents...and no one usually remarks about it except my Mom and Sister. Smile. If you'd like to give Natasha a try, come on down. Nancy and Natasha who adds cashmere to her Mama's clothes. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shelley L.

Judson, my golden also is a shedder but I find if I use this blade quite liberally in the summer, I can still wear black, dark blue, dark green, dark khakhi and kahkhi, smile.
