Havanese coat?

i have a 7 month Havanese and her coat is thin around her legs and kinda thin around her muzzel, i was wanting to know if anyone with a havanese or knows the breed knows if it should grow more as she ages or if it will stay as it is. i ask because some people say it take 2 years for a havaneses coat to fully grow but i dont know what exactly that means.and my sis has a male havanese and it has a full coat at 5 months.so should her hair get fuller or just longer or both or not do much? Thanks!

A lot depends on the care you give her coat as well as her parents' coats. Did her parents have really good coats? If so, give her time and care, and she likely will. If they're coats weren't very good, hers likely won't be either.

Havanese need regular, thorough grooming if you want their coats looking gorgeous. They, just like afghan hounds, don't blow coat, so as they lose hair (the long haired havanese) it'll fall into their undercoat and mat. With care, your dog's coat should get 6" - 8" long, but she needs brushing, to the skin, every week with a good pin brush.
