Hi all , my puppy Myla is 4 months old and she is starting to get the feathering on the backs of her legs and some on her under side ... I just wondered if her hair looks shorter than the average golden , i know it’s hard to tell at this age what their fur will be full grown. She had the stripe on her back of wavy coarse hair that grew in but everything else is short. Is this normal? Here are some pics

Hi there! Four months is the age where they blow puppy coat and start their adult coat :) Looking at her parents, I don't think she'll have an especially long coat though.

Here is my boy at 4 months

Very cute pup! Yeah I don’t think she will be super long haired but I can see random pieces of hair throughout her body that are like way longer than the rest. I think she’ll be a mix between mom and dad!

Dad's coat isn't especially long, but he's a handsome boy! Mom looks like she has more coat. Myla is very pretty and looks so sweet. I love the action shot. :)

Current Golden, Logan, at four months:

And now -- he's nine and a half months, so still an adolescent. His coat is still coming in for a while:

Wow beautiful dog!! The parents definitely have long hair so your pup was destined for it! I hope my girl gets longer hair I’m sure it won’t be that long, but she is starting to get the wavyness on her back and I can see longer hairs coming in throughout her body randomly !
