Hi Bonnie
Not a good look with that big coat drop but a good
shedding like that is normal and then all the lovely new coat will come back
in. They look like Salukis' with leg feathering but rest assured Soph will
be back to normal soon with your cooler weather coming.
I usually find that unspayed bitches will drop coat twice a
year and males once a year. The Auz imports here tend to have a bigger coat in
summer than my homebred Pyrs, why I don't know. Now one of the not so
pretty sights is the bitch who has had a litter and a couple of months later
drops her coat!! You tend to hide them away when people come
calling! The lovely coat does come back and Sophie is probably enjoying
her "fall" coat. Isn't it amazing just how much coat comes out? The birds
will be enjoying collecting the undercoat for their winter nests .
