hey, i have a question i want to ask your advice on..my rocky is 15 weeks old, and you can clearly tell where his "mature coat" (i guess that's what you'd call it) is coming in..it started as just a 2" wide line along his backbone, and has gotten wider and thicker over the past few weeks. anyways, along his back now, his hair has gotten VERY wavy and i brush it about every other day to try to train it, but it seems as if it doesn't help at all. i'm using a Furminator brush. do you think as he gets bigger his skin will stretch and make the hair straight? or do you think it's just a genetic defect and i'm stuck with a wavy haired rotti? also, there's some gray hairs in his mature coat, is that something else to worry about?
when Sadie was coming close to her second heat, I made an appt to have her spayed. she was very full wavy as a pup, and eventually it had reduced to a wide strip down her back. Anyway, I gave her a bath prior to her surgery, and the vets gave her one post surgery- and Wha La- absolutley NO waves whatsoever now. I thnk it was a mix of maturing, and blowing her winter puppy coat. She is 14 months now.
my pup max is just turned 6 months old...he has a wavey back....his mum had a wavey back...his dads was smooth....seems he might be taking after his mum?
