| Whisker like hair on back Okay so I just noticed the weirdest thing ever on Murphy. Throughout his fur on his back, he has tons of areas with very thick black pokey like hair...it looks just like whiskers! I have never ever noticed this on another dog. Any help? Could this be bad?

| How old is Murphy? He could be transitioning to his adult coat. |

| He's 7 months. Could be. His litter mate does not have this same fur though...Hmmm I wonder?

| Sometimes this can be a sign of a skin condition or critters. |

| I'm so curious. They don't bother him at all, but I just can't seem to find any info on it. I think I'll make a call to the vet.
