Do american cocker spaniels shed?

Really? I've had them in my family since I was a kid and never noticed much shedding at all. Even when they're brushed they hardly leave fur on the brush like the other breeds we've had. Yet I see all these websites about dog breeds and my collection of dog breed books call them moderate shedders. I'm looking for real experience.

Update:

I know they shed, I'm not concerned with how much dog's shed. I currently have a belgian shepherd who makes tumbleweeds of hair in the house. I'm just surprised that they would be called moderate shedders. I've always told people they hardly shed at all and recommend them to people who want dogs who nearly don't shed at all.

    English cockers don't shed, Americans shed very little but they do because they have a different, finer coat type.
