Hey Matrix, we collected them mid October, and have therefore not had them very long. BUt so far neither of them seem to shed much hair. We brush them often and there isnt that much hair that comes off. On the other hand our 2 black moggies, who have a similar length of hair to the silver boy molt loads more.
When we first decided to buy the coons, the decision was purely based on them looking great and their potential to get really big. I was a bit dubious when you would hear how different their personalities can be compared to normal moggies.
Now that we have them I can confirm that they are indeed much more like dogs, and very intelligent. They are both so vocal, different sounds for when they are hungry, want love, wanna play etc....
