reploidphoenix Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 While my lola was never a true long haired border collie, she used to be quite fluffy. In the past month or so, I noticed her hair has gotten really short and thin like a smooth border collie. She just hit a year old in october. I used to be able to flow my hands through it, now I cant. Could it be health related? Or just something that may happen with her genetics?

Hooper2 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Has Lola been in season in the past couple months? Bitches can really blow their coat a month or two after coming into heat. If she's blown coat due to being in season it will grow back over the next couple months. Fun fact: the reason they used a male collie to play Lassie in movies and on TV was for exactly that reasons - to avoid the dramatic change in appearance due to seasonal cycles in coat growth and loss.

reploidphoenix Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 That's really cool! Yeah she had her first heat in August. Her hair started thinning about 2-3 months after, like she has no undercoat left. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
