So Diz has been blowing coat for a while now, and within the last week or so I'm noticing a lot more guard hair coming out. Is that normal? Could he be losing puppy coat as well?

Perfectly normal if he's rolling coat or if he's dropping that puppy coat.

What is rolling a coat?

It's when they do a complete blow of all the dead coat, not just undercoat but guard hair too. Mine tend to do this every other year.

Sooo...sort of a tsunami of shedding  

Ha ha! Thanks Lani!

So what do they look like if they are rolling their coat? I don't think i've seen this yet.   

Scruffy when dirty, sleek when clean. If he's not freshly bathed he sort of looks like he has bedhead, and some cowlicks. Honestly though, Diz has so much fur, I don't see much of a difference in terms of his outer coat yet. He just looks more sleek after losing a lot of undercoat, although he still has a long way to go with the undercoat.

So it's normal if they're rolling coat as adults?
I've noticed Lycus shedding his guard hairs too this year so it freaked me out a little lol.

So I guess Okami would be rolling his coat?  Even though when I brush him I only see undercoat come out? Haha.  Maybe it is this just a puppy coat thing.
