How do you tell what kind of fur a puppy will have?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Your puppy's coat can usually tell you whether or not it will have long hair when it's older. A long-haired puppy will have a more furry, fluffy puppy coat than its short-haired siblings. The ears and the legs are also a good place to check for longer hair or “feathering” which is an indication of a long coat.


At what age does puppy fur change?

Puppies lose their puppy coats between 4-to-6 months of age, although this time frame varies widely from breed to breed and can start at 12 weeks or wait until they're one year old. You might not notice your puppy shedding, especially if she is a shorthaired breed, or the change could be dramatic.

What age do puppies fur change color?

We start to change color somewhere between 6 and 18 months old. Our final color is anywhere from a light silver blue to dark slate blue. Our puppy coat had a different texture than our adult coat too. The puppy coat was more open and softer in texture.

Do all puppies have soft fur?

A puppy is born with one single coat of soft fur, even if it is a double-coated breed. When he sheds that puppy coat — usually between four months and six months old — his new, adult coat will come in stiffer and thicker, according to the American Kennel Club.
