The shelter is telling me that she is a border collie and Australian shepherd mix. But is it too good to be true? I mostly would like to know the coat length that this dog will have when grown, anyone has an educated guess? im hoping for a dog with medium-long coat. Like a rough collie or a...

Hi, I'm a new pawrents of two crossed breed puppies age 2months. They are mixture of maltese poodle and mongrel. My question is about their coat. Will it be long coated or short coated? They have longer hair only on their ears, the rest is shorter. Thanks for helping out! :)

I'm getting a smooth collie, but the breeder had 3 coat options to pick from: rough, smooth, and classic working line farm collie (Moderate Coat). How does the last one look? I tried googling photos but didn't find anything. It sounds interesting though.

Hello DogForums Friends! I keep coming back here because of all the great advice we keep getting. We live up in WA and the summer heat is slowly starting to begin. I know, I know, it doesn't get THAT hot up here (we're from sunny CA and AZ so we know heat) BUT still, it's starting to get...

I actually requested they trim an inch off her coat and they shaved her down to the bare skin. When I went to pick up my Eskie, the owner Joyce stated she tried to use a 5 blade (in lieu of scissors) and kept getting streaks. The owner of Animal Palace had the nerve to say she thought it looked...

Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this question should be here, since it involves health, grooming and food, but since it might be related to allergies... I have an almost 3 year old border/pointer mix (we think) named Vilya. She used to have a soft and shiny black coat, but this last year some...

Hi everyone.I have a 12 week old shih tzu baby boy. He is up to date on his vaccinations (3 rounds) and has been checked for worms. He is on a grain-free diet and is very active and healthy. Recently, he started shedding a TON -- thin, wispy hairs are going everywhere. He's registered with AKC...

I have a nine month old mix breed (bichon/ cavalier) and I am literally worried about every single thing she does. Anything from a cough to her chewing on something she shouldn't, the list is endless. The reason I'm posting though is because of her coat. When I got her she had a white coat...

My dog Koby is an American Eskimo and his coat is still extremely thick and fluffy at this time. Even if it's a pretty normal 55 degree day, he still appears to be exhausted and too hot after his walks. I've been told that I'm not suppose to shave these double coated Northern breeds, so what can...

My dog is a Rottweiler/Bulldog/Bloodhound/Mastiff Mix, 1 year old, and still growing. He's terrified of baths, and while it's not a 'dangerous' situation, it does leave me more of a mess to clean up. I would usually try to promote it with encouragement, but Gonzo doesn't respond to treats - he...

Hello everyone! I currently have a 3 year old German Shepherd who suffers from skin problems. Not sure what exactly the problem is(the vet never gives a straight answer, just wants you to spend $$) He has flaky, rashy skin and scrathes/chews at himself all the time! We thought it might be food...

I saw a Puli dog in the park today, and fell in love. I'm thinking of getting one (I currently own a 2 year old male Lhasa Apso, and am not an experienced dog owner). However, I have a concern: how hard is the Puli's coat to take care of?? I'd also like to know if it would get on well with my...

I'm curious about whether the texture of my puppy's coat is indicative of his breed mixture. Obviously, some dogs have very soft, short fur, similar to that of a cat. And, some dogs have a coarse coat, German Shepherds or Australian Cattle Dogs come to mind. And, of course, there are the...

I know there are quite a few Aussie owners peeking around here, so I thought I would see what answers I can get. At what age do Aussies generally get their adult coat? I'm a first time Aussie parent and I've just been curious how long this fluffy stuff is going to stick around :). And is...
