kingfisher7151 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 When did your dog shed it? Scoot is hanging onto his for an awful long time. It's been driving me nuts, and my trainer expressed a fair bit of surprise that he still has it. He's had roundworms and giardia, count them, three times since he came home.

CptJack Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Oomph, depends on dog and none of my fluffier one are BC/have ever been BC. I will say that while average with all my dogs was about 16 weeks/four months, Thud had a lot of tummy issues as a baby-dog and while he lost his 'normal' fluff somewhere around 5 months he grew some kind of intermediate coat, too. Which is to say he went from fluffy puppy, to kind of bald fuzzy 6 month old, to having a long REALLY WAVY coat that also all shed out before it finished. Was just the weirdest transition of any dog ever. I don't know if it was stomach issues or something else, but. Young pup. Baldish, slightly later than usual AND Then there WAS THIS: We got to normal in the end, though. Still no idea wth was up with him. Looking at those pictures I kind of figure his adult coat will start coming in a little bit over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think that the puppy fluff transition to adult coat is individual to a dog and coat type. My medium rough coat dog didn't get a sleek coat until he was about 12 months. That beautiful sleek coat started to get more fluffy as he aged. I noticed a very gradual change starting about 3 years of age. My younger dog is a short coat and never really had puppy fluff. His coat did transition to a sleeker version of his puppy coat, but it wasn't a dramatic change. And, CptJack, Thud was an adorable puppy.

GentleLake Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 My younger dog is a short coat and never really had puppy fluff. His coat did transition to a sleeker version of his puppy coat, but it wasn't a dramatic change. That's exactly what happened with Wink. He did sort of get a slick Mohawk of coarser fur when his coat first started to change, but it's already (at 4 months) changed to a nice, slick smooth coat.
