puppy coat
Hi! I’m a first-time dachshund owner, and I have a question about my puppy’s coat. I brought my baby home at 7 weeks old, and she’s now almost 16 weeks old. I’ve noticed that the fur on her ears and toes is starting to grow longer and feather out, but the longer, fluffy puppy fur on her body seems to have shed, leaving her body coat looking much shorter.
From what I understand, both of her parents are longhaired dachshunds, and I was told that she is longhaired as well. Is this a normal part of the puppy coat transition? Will her longer adult coat continue to grow in as she gets older? I’d love to hear from others about their experiences! 🐾
