thats funny, alfies coat is so full, everywhere and underneath he has far too much, he has even moulted and he has loads! he has seaweed in his food, i wonder whether that has an influence?

i just love pixel!

and sky is a beautiful collie!

Quite possibly! Pixel's coat is certainly a lot thicker since we started using it. I wouldn't say it's the source of Alfie's fur, but it'll certainly help (or won't help if he's got too much) the cause! I love it when their fur is so thick though, Pixel likes sleeping by my feet, and his coat makes fantastic foot warmers.

Don't worry too much about the moulting! You'll soon be used to having hairs almost everywhere. Have you gotten him used to a good brushing yet? A few hours of clicker training involving the brush would be a good investment if you haven't already.

oh im at home with the moulting, always had rough collies so its business as usual with the rugs turned a lovely white colour!!

hes is so thick still even though hes had the moult, just like billy my last, he never had what people say is the summer coat!

alfie does and billy used to sleep on my feet and it beats slippers for ure!

yes got him started early with the brushing as he is a right fidgit and he has a bone while i give him a brush!

Re: border collie hair question

Merc is coming up to 5 months and he's getting his adult coat, you can see how fluffy he is still with puppy coat but he's going to have a massive coat I think like his Dad.

Merc


Merc's dad, Billy

Re: border collie hair question

Clover's almost 11 months now and after her bath last week I finally realised how beautiful her coat will be. She's got the border collie adult fur around her bottom and the rest of her fur is now coming along nicely especially since the weather has gone very cild.
Sky is gorgeous want to swap

All the other pups and dogs are gorgeous too. Love the pictures keep them coming.
