Hey all,
So I have an interesting situation going on with my boy right now. He is 5 years old and always had amazing medium-length hair that was long enough to be fluffy, but never matted. This is an older picture just to show the length. I wouldn't call him a full longhair by any means; he didn't have that wispy long stuff, it's just regular, smooth fur that happens to be longer.
So here is the problem. Just within the last month or two, his hair has started to grow - first around his neck, and now around his lower sides and belly. He's starting to get mats for the first time, and it's the wispy kind of hair that longhairs have. He isn't as soft as he used to be. Is this normal? I would think any hair growth like this would have been during his first year or two, not at 5 years old. I can try to take a picture of the new look tonight, but this has been bugging me for awhile.
Thank you!
