There is a change from Puppy to Adult coat.  I would not worry too much about 
it.  You also have different coats.  The long coat you may think is correct 
may not really be that correct.  Some lines have bred coats too long to be 
correct historically.  So maybe your expectations are not correct as well.  
Anyway your dog will not be fully mature until it is over two years old and 
some lines not fully mature until four years old.  Coat is all part of this.  
This is also the worst time of year anywhere for coats.
