Guest Anonymous Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I want to know is it possible for a pure bred pit to born hairy and then later shed the hair? Quote
Angelboddy Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 huh, I have never heard of that. :-? Now puppys will grow out of their puppy fur. Better leave this for the pit professionals. :wink: Quote
courtnek Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 could be a mix maybe? With a longer haired dog? Never seen a hairy pit bull.... Quote
Aroura Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Why would you want a hairy pit puppy that sheds its hair? :-? LOL, sorry but I can't help but laugh!!! A hairy pit puppy!!! Hehe, cute :wink: Are there any breeds that are born fluffy then shed to have a short coat? :roll: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Reminds me of K's old sig: "Is it a furry pit?" :lol: Nope, all pit puppies are born shorthaired. Don't have the "puppy fur". Did you find one? Do you have a pic? It should be a mix... maybe a genetic defect? Noobody thought that dogs could be hairless until some genetic defect that got them hairless. :niewiem: Quote
Aroura Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 But is there such a thing as any breed that is born fluffy and sheds to have a short coat? I don't think there is, so until that mutation spontaniusly pops up out of no where and is selectivly bred from for many generations it couldn't be possible. Then to put that gene into a Pit would be even further work, so I doubt it could be possible for thousands of years any way, even if the gene did pop up, which is very unlikely in itself. Although if you like there are many rescue dogs out there who were born hairy, got allergys, lost their hair and ended up in the shelters due to owners who only want a "beautuful, allergy free dog", if that helps at all!!! :o Quote
