I've heard people that swear by royal canine and I am actually thinking about switching over myself because I have seen nice results whether it was from the food or the bloodline; I do mix a raw egg into her food daily and that does keep her coat shiny like gold.

As far as her shedding she doesn't shed too often or too much, loose hair usually comes off when I bathe her and even then it isn't much. Congrats on the new pup Ant! I'd like to see her sometime
