When I got Abbie she wasn't speyed and she had a short BC coat, with a wisp of a tail. Now she was also covered in bites and skinny so I suspecth er diet wasn't great but for the first 8 months her coat remained the same, since I've had her speyed which was a few years ago now she turned into a big fluff ball, and has a really long coat. Shes not got anything medically wrong with her (other than hip dysplasia) and her diet is Burns or Intelligent Feeding dry foods.
Has anyone else noticed something similar? I wondered if her hormones could be a factor to this change now shes speyed?
When she first arrived
And now....
(And shes had a run in with the clippers in that picture!! There is half a collie worth of hair in my garage to add to that!
