This may be a dumb question. But my dog (10y/f/mixbreed) has what we call her “lions mane”. It’s a giant circle of extra skin & denser hair that wraps around her neck, her shoulders, and her chest. It’s approx 1”-1.5” in length.

The rest of her fur is typical short hair.

Her lions mane is a shedding nightmare, I feel like no matter how much I brush it, copious amounts of hair still fall out. Is it possible that just her mane has an undercoat? I’ve tried the furminator, I have a slicker brush, shedding blade, etc.

She gets brushed 1x/week.

Any suggestions to help lighten then shedding load besides what I’m already doing?

PS. I know dogs shed, I just want to get some insight from professionals bc maybe you know something I don’t.

Thank you !
