Does a collie lose her hair after she has puppies?

We are purchasing a collie after she has her 1st litter of pups. She has a beautiful thick coat right now but we were told after the pups she would lose most of her hair. They told us it would take 4 to 6 months to grow back. Is this true? Is it healthy?

Hi

Collies are real similar to Pomeranians and allot of females will loose there under coat they have 2 coats the under and over and the over coat is the longer fuller hair under is the short close to the body fluffy hair

They are giving everything to the babies I know my female Poms do but taking 4 to 6 months to grow back is incorrect I have a litter rite now and they have just turned 5 months and Mama has such a huge full coat better than before she had the pups it started coming back soon as she stopped nursing the pups

So I would not let this stop you from Purchasing her as all you have to do is feed her the proper diet and her coat will come back so beautiful you will never know she even had a litter

Good Luck To You and Your New Pup

Does a collie lose her hair after she has puppies?

It is true for all female dogs after having a litter. They loose the belly hair before whelping, then after they will loose a good deal of the entire body. Not to worry - it will come back and it will come back better than ever. Be sure to be feeding a premium food, no corn no wheat diet. The best way to deal with the hair loss is when she begins to do what is called "blow coat" then give her a bath in warm water, let her just air dry. Then the next day, if you don't have a forced air dryer for dogs, take her a grooming shop that does, have them rebathe her. The process is called force blow, and it will keep the hair in the house to a minimum.
