About a month before I got my buck his coat was sheared as he had been in a fight with his brother. Now his belly is molting (right down to almost bald), but his back and sides where he was sheared are not ready yet.
Will his molting pattern ever even out again or will he always molt in two stages now? <br /><br /> __________ Fri Apr 03, 2015 12:54 pm __________ <br /><br /> Hmmm... never mind... his back and sides seem to be starting to release too. He is currently naked (except for head and legs) from neck to "waist" and looks like he's wearing a big, fluffy tutu. Good thing I already bred him to Annabelle as she would probably not want to be seen with him now! Poor Mister...
His coat is very uneven though (due to the shearing I'm sure...and not being fed a wooler diet). I'm hoping his next coat will be much more even with a longer staple.
When I got Annabelle she was terribly matted and not well kept. I knew I was in for trouble because when I asked the breeder how she removed her coat she said she never did (she was 9 months old) because it was too cute and fluffy. When I took her old coat off her new one was already an inch long! Her new coat is beautiful!! Even in length, good colour, soft, with just a hint of crimp, and very easy to groom. I hope I'm as lucky with Mister.
