"Puppy Fat" & Coat Length Questions

jasmine · 26-07-2010, 11:25

Pollux has just change his puppy coat , moreover there is hot summer. A male csw will be ready as they reach 2 years old, including even the coat .
There are big differences inbetween summer coat and winter coat.
I surely don't say "not good for wolfdog" But as Lupis hasn't got any wolfdog, he surely has a lot of experiences in this topic as well ................

Jezebeth in Feb. 2008 just before her trip to Brazil:

....a month later in Brazil:

and in June 2010 (Brazilian winter!)

Compare with the wolf: Macko in summer coat:

and the same wolf in winter coat:

Blitzen, don't listen to people like Lupis, who treat this forum as his own fighting ring

CSV do have coat faults, but it's a bit more complicated than he'd like to present it. E.g. see this link: http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1162

You should see pictures of Iberic Wolfs during the winter and the summer! You just don’t recognize them! In the winter they look like Malamutes. In the summer they look like something the cat brought home! J
We have a big difference in temperature and moisture between winter and summer so the animals adapt.
It seems to happen the same with CWDs. Their faire just adapts to the environment. I don’t think it’s a matter for you to worry. Just give them time and they will adapt. That’s the great thing about CWDs! They do adapt! They are not tied to the original morphology. They still have survival skills! If I’m being to poetic, please correct me.
