Coat density question

Also think you just have to wait a bit
Here is Minnie as 14 months.

and here as 20 months.

 

My Jesse is close to 21 months old and in just the last month has put on a lot of undercoat. He blew his coat about 2 months ago and I thought he was going to be more of a sleek coated sheltie, but all of the sudden he puffed right up! I actually thought he was putting on weight, but when I felt him it was all undercoat. I hope it is not an indication of what this winter is going to be like! Maybe Liam is just getting ready to grow in his undercoat for winter.

 

I was brushing Finnie tonight and I noticed that he's got a lot of undercoat coming in, he's got about 3" of growth on the sides, his fur on his legs is long and his mane....well, it's just the thickest and most luxurious and when he walks it's close to the ground! He's got SO much fur there that he almost needs a bib to keep it clean when he eats! He's just over 21 months (I gotta say, I was beginning to think he'd NEVER coat up, even with our cold winters!))
He's going to get a big big big brushing tomorrow evening (not much else to do in a hotel room lol) and I'll try to get a good picture of him.
Liam will coat up soon, before you know it you'll be cursing all the fur lol.

 

Yes, think being so privileged - when we are in our summer house
- we can go our morning walks and almost have a whole beach to ourselves

 

Jesse was neutered at the beginning of July, so he was 17 months old then. I wanted to wait a little longer, but he would not leave my little pom girl (who is spayed) alone.
