Does Sampson need a hair club??

I posted this under grooming, but no-one responded :(
So I'm asking here...

Sampson is just under 5 months old (and cute as a button :hearts:) and appears to be going through a coat change???, and I've noticed he is leaving some fur behind on his blanket in his playpen. It's not a hugh amount, just little tufts here and there, but I wanted to know if I should be concerned? He's otherwise very healthy (and adorable). I think most of the hair is coming from his legs, as they appear to be a little less furry than before. Is this normal, or does my puppy need Rogaine?

He'll drop a little hair during the coat change so it's probably nothing to worry about. If it starts to become excessive or you notice any areas that are obviously thinning or don't look right, then a trip to the vet might be in order but he's probably just growing up!
:cry: But what if I don't want him to grow up? :cry: :cry: :cry:

OK, well I really do, but just not so fast! He's SO big already, it's really amazing. Good to know this is likely normal coat change stuff. He was in with the vet recently and the vet said he seems perfectly healthy, but if I notice more hair, I'll defenitely follow your advice and take him in again... just to be sure.
George has been doing this as well. Especially right after I vacuum :roll: Just little tufts of hair, I still don't get much out even when I groom him, but you can really see the grey starting to come in.....
How old is George?
They do lose hair during the coat change or "blow out" as it is sometimes called. I agree with Jill. If it's only tufts here & there and doesn't get worse, I wouldn't worry to much about it. If it seems to get worse and you notice really thin patches, I'd take him to the vet for a check up.
George is four and a half months. And 52lbs 8O He's a hoss, when my husband finally gets to see him in person, he's gonna be amazed!
my girl is 10 monthe and 55 lbs 8O My boy pup will be here Saturday soooo wow they can sure be bigger.
Wow... Stella is 18 months old and 55 lbs. Sampson is almost 5 months old and about 32 lbs.
