If you have a Samoyed related website - linking to our FFF website would be appreciated to help spread the word. Provide a container at each club function for members to bring their fur donations for collection. Accept a FFF Samoyed fur item to auction at Specialties in your region. Publish FFF project information in your groups newsletter, and encourage members to participate. To collect undercoat your dog should be DRY, free of fleas, but does NOT need to be bathed first.
Dry fibers store better.
If you comb damp hair out of your dog, simply spread it out in a warm area for a few hours to let it dry before bagging. Combings from the head and legs tends to be shorter. If a combing appears to have a perponderence of guard hair - discard it. Periodically Sams will blow this guard hair along with the usual undercoat shed, but for most sheds there will be a minimum of guard hair. For our purposes - the less the better.
