Your dog looks like he has a straight thin coat. The undercoat would look more fuzzy. Your dog could have a combination coat or it could have gotten the genes of a Yorkie type coat. He does not look curly in the first photo but I can't see his undercoat, if he has one.
Poodles don't shed like most dogs and need to be brushed out with a slicker brush to keep them from matting. Your picture just does not show that type of coat though. Hard to say if the coat will grow back like it was because many dogs drop their puppy coat and grow adult coats toward the end of the first year. During that stage it is especially important to keep combing out the dead fur to prevent matting as they shed so much faster during that transition time. |
