silhouettestable Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 My Storm was a fluffy pup, then around 4 months as he was loosing the puppy fur he got a lot smoother. By 5-6 months it was coming in long again. He's kind of wavy on the back. Before his coat grew in to the full length it is now I nicknamed him "Fluffybutt". Even when the most of his coat was smoother he always had fluffy ears and waves on his tail. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures of his different stages for you to see. Here they are, sorry some are pretty poor quality. Those were taken with an older camera that wasn't very good: 10 weeks 3 months 4 months around 6 months Almost 2 1/2 years, June 2009 Storm's mom and dad are both fairly smooth coated, don't know where he gets his from.

silhouettestable Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Awww, what a cutie. She does look pretty smooth right now. Maybe she'll be more like my Dru. He was a smoother puppy but wavy on his back and almost curly on his tail. He's just turned a year and he is now pretty smooth but with a bit of longer hair on the back of his back legs. It's the coarser kind of hair like a smooth coat will have. Storm has very fine silky hair (which is pretty but can mat up a bit when he swims a lot if I'm not careful) Storm hates to be groomed so I'm always checking him for the beginning of mats this time of year so I can deal with them before they get too big. In the winter he doesn't get them, apparently it's the swimming that does it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 She's very cute! Looks like she's going to be a smooth coat (short). Enjoy her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
