I don't know how else to describe it, lol.
Lucy's coat is AWESOME. She's soft and fluffy and great to snuggle, but she doesn't shed in the traditional sense. I can pet her without getting fur on my hands (even when I really work my hands through her coat), and my couch really doesn't have fur all over it even though she lays on it all the time. I can put on work clothes in the morning, get one last cuddle in, and not have to use a lint brush at all.
Don't get me wrong--she does shed. When I vacuum, I find little balls of fur in the corners of the room, and if I take an undercoat rake to her I pull out all kinds of fluff--but it's not like it's just constantly falling out the way the labs or border collies do.
Zach and I were joking last night that if we have another dog after Lucy, it better have the same awesome coat. What breeds are like that? Or is Lucy just a magical mystery mutt of epic proportions and I should clone her DNA ASAP?
(PS - No wire haired/curly coated breeds...I want soft and fluffy!)
