Is Blitz going to stay this fuzzy?
My dog is now 17 weeks old and he is still as wooly as when I brought him home. Will he most likely stay this way or will his coat thin out?

Could you post some photos of your puppy?
Also, were the parents long coats or stock coats? The puppy in your icon looks awfully fuzzy, especially around the ears. Do you know whether he may be a long coat? |

He shouldn't do he will eventually grow out of his puppy coat, when Nero was a puppy his fur stayed really soft and silky, He adventually grew out of it and now he is almost 8yrs old and his coat is still really thick but not as fluffy and soft. Well it is around his ears it feels like silk!!

Yes, burr magnets, dead bugs, leaves...they all stick to the puppy coats. It's one of the reasons puppies are cute...mother nature thought it would help get them past this stage. It's why so many puppy owners are always saying "It's a good thing you're cute!"

Blitz is adorable and I love his name. He looks like a long coat. The fur around his ears looks like it. The breeder should of mentioned this. I have heard long coats generally have a very sweet personality.

The ears are a dead giveaway. Sonar had the same ear fuzz. He is not a "long coat" I would say he is more of an "ultra plush". He is fuzzy but its not supper dupper long and his coat is still constantly changing.
*** Images removed by MOD - max size allowed is 800X600 - Resize pictures and repost if you wish *** 1 year (with his winter coat) He looks a lot different now that his winter coat is blowing out. Invest in a Furminator
