Shih Tzu Q&A

My American Eskimo is 6-months old and she's got quite a bit of fur, but she isn't fluffy like her parents were. Is this normal or will she never be fluffy?

I have 2 American Eskimo sisters, one is very fluffy and the other has a much smoother, non-fluffy coat. They are a year and a half now and it appears they will be staying this way. I love them either way!


Most dogs reach adult maturity about age two. Your dog at 6 months is a baby and will not have the mature coat until at least two years old.! Enjoy the best dog in the world!


We have always had Eskies. Two have had flatter wavy coats with somewhat full manes and the third has the most full fluffy coat and mane. They all were/are wonderful companions and members of the family.
