Today we stopped at a pet store (NOT buying, just puppy admiring) and there was a darling golden baby girl. As I stood there just admiring her, the salesperson was right on it - took her out of the cage and put her in a playroom for me to interact. Oh I felt bad knowing this little pup was going to have fun for just a few minutes and then have to go back in her cage.
But while I was playing with her, I couldn't help but admire her very very full and fluffy coat. She was like a cotton ball with legs. Her age was just over 8 weeks, just a bit older than Duffy was when we got him. But his coat was short and never fluffy like hers.
So then I began to wonder - is there a relationship between them having a very very fluffy puppy coat and a fuller adult coat? Will Duffy be doomed to a short adult coat?
What is your experience with puppy coats and how they turned out as adults?
Of course we love Duffy, short or long coat, but I'm just curious. Right now he is 14 weeks old and has a lovely smooth coat and just beginning to feather.
