How old is Gracie? Hair texture changes in the first couple of years, most silky coats have thinner hair than cotton coats. There isn't much you can do for thin hair, it's ruled by genetics, and breeders are always striving for the best coat. If there is actual shedding and hair loss, you should rule out any medical problems such a thyroid. A nutritious diet is important, and some people have reported success with adding various supplements, partially flax seed oil, or the amino acid L-cysteine, as well as others. There are also topical grooming aids that produce thicker looking hair. When Joey was a puppy, his topknot hair was pitifully thin, so I used Biogroom Spray Set Texturizer; it just makes the hair appear thicker.
