shes only a puppy yes? my guess would be its her adult coat coming in in patches, i remember demons back getting very odd and wiry in comparison to the rest of his body and eventually it all evened out. although sometimes his fur will still get softer/shinier/rougher depending on what hes eating.

Ditto. You'll notice a bigger difference like you stated with long hair dogs.

Tell us about yourself: My name is Karen and I have a dutch shepherd, Xander, born 6/14/13. He is my second dutch shepherd. My first was Rawly. Even though Xander is my second I still have a lot to learn. That is why I'm here, to learn, get advice, and meet people who love these guys as much as I do.

My last DS had very wavy hair. Xander has 2 different textures of hair. His back is more course and his legs belly and head are finer and softer.
