Re: [pyrnet] Losing puppy coat?

>> I keep reading about how Pyrs lose their "puppy coat" at some point in
the
 first year. Leo is eight months old now and his coat just keeps getting
 prettier and more full. Is this eventually going to fall out?<<

  Oh boy, is it ever! Yesterday, I brushed out the puppy/winter coats of my
two 14 month old boys, Claude and Paco. In fact, I actually "plucked" out
much of their coats, much to their dismay. From each I harvested a whole
large black garbage bag - full, which I give to a local
spinner/weaver/knitter. She particularly loves the fine wool of this first
puppy blow.

 When Leo starts to shed his puppy coat - you will know it!
