| Will it grow? Bella is 5 months old and her hair is still pretty short, her mom and dad both had long beautiful hair. I am hoping hers will be the same. About when should she start getting her adult coat?(I guess what that is what it is called) |

| Her hair will grow, some do take a little longer then others. No need to worry, she will have a beautiful coat like her parents!

| Short Coat What is the color of her coat at the roots and what is the texture? Every once in a while a pup comes along that is deep in color, has the texture of coarse silk, and grows about 1/3 the rate of other coats, breaking off easily. If that sounds like your baby you may have a redleg on your hands. They are used by breeders every 4th or 5th generation to bring color and strength back into the line. They're a breeze to groom! |

| It wasn't great to pay $3000. for this "pet" dog who arrived full of issues, his coat being the least of them. So much for researching great breeders. If I sound bitter, I am. Jessica |

I Love Thor Donating Member | I'm sure it'll grow. It took Thor's coat a long time to 'get kickin' and start growing. Hang in there! |
