It depends on where you live and your climate.  Last year in December my 4 year old female 
had a serious blow....alas, we are in Northern NM with very cold temps, so out of order.  
When she did not immediately start putting on new coat, we did a Thyroid Panel and she was 
extremely low thyroid.  Started her on supplements and this year she is a beasty with a full 
coat. :)  Age one seems to me to be a bit early to show thyroid issues, but depends on what 
the breeding is of your boy.  If he does not start putting on new coat shortly, then I would 
recommend a trip to the vet for a COMPLETE Thyroid Panel.
