| The experience I've had, is that it happens more on the hind quarters and hind legs......don't know why. My line is very slow growing silk....so, it takes a long time to grow back. That's why I tell them they look like housewives and not of the OC or NY kind.

| I don't think you plan to show him in conformation, so you can start with the sit command.....do it in a quiet area, show him the treat and verbalize the sit. To get him to sit, put the treat close to his face and slowly raise it. This should automatically get him to sit. But if it doesn't. Have Shaun sit on the floor with Sherman to his right side, verbalize the sit command and gently push on his little butt (Sherman's not Shaun's). You'll be surprised how quickly they learn. After he get's it, he can go on to the down command.....Don't attempt to do any lead training for a bit. Just make sure everything you attempt with him is a game and fun.

Thanks Mary and no Sherman is not being shown. Shaun is excited to start training and bonding with Sherman. He wants Sherman to be his boy like Bella Mia is my girl.

Somehow if they are unhappy it takes longer for them to bounce back to their normal self, but if she is all happy it is not going to take long at all. I saw the other posts about the hair never looking as good again. With our experience we noticed that after they loose all the hair they are supposed to loose , new beautiful hair comes in. We usually give a very short puppy cut after weaning the puppies. I am not sure if that is what could make a difference, as we only see the good new hair coming all together. The post about the infection is very interesting. We never had it so i have no experience, but the great thing about many different inputs is this: more heads think and know better than one ! She will be beautiful again ! You will see it !!! Ps.: Here they love the dressing up... so when they are not very happy i usually dress them up ... kkkk put new bows and stuff !!! XOXO

Since I show dogs, show coats take a bit more cultivating. So, once I've bred a mom, they tend to go lighter and a bit sparser, not ever getting back to that show coat again.

I found that depending on what you are feeding they do lighten up , you are right, but i also find that they put back color if they are fed puppy food a while after they wean the puppies. I have a retired "old" lady here that was very light after she had her last litter, 6 puppies... she got so emaciated... her hair is now the most gorgeous one, intense color an shiny, even after getting spayed. We noticed the food impact in color even with males. We have a champion male started getting a lot of silver in the roots. Eventually half of his hair was turning silver, we switched him and he started darkening up again. He is back to his 'glorious" days. But you can see the line, like someone who dies the hair blond then you can see the dark roots. I am not currently showing, but had so i am very familiar with the care and effort to grow a coat, care is never too much . XOXO

I always thought it was weird that her back end was affected more, guess I know now that it isn't uncommon.
