Her coat is totally to blame. With R0ndo, the burrs and foxtails mostly just fall out. With Apache, they take out mortgages. She (and R0ndo) both have what is termed "semi-rough" coats. Usually (like with R0ndo) this means they have longer guard hairs with little/no undercoat. Apache is the exact opposite: all undercoat with no guard hairs. So she's like the fuzzy side of velcro, welcoming burrs with open arms.
This -does- make her extraordinarily floofy and soft, though. When she's clean, she's a plush-dog.
