7 yr old double coat pwd

I have a 7 year old PWD with double coat hair. I have been a dog lover my entire life and this is by far the best dog I have ever had. Her personality and energy fit me to a T! I live in Wichita, Kansas and would love to have a companion for Molly as she still has alot of energy for a puppy. I am not interested in breeding or perfection but the personality. If anyone has a puppy or young adult that they are finding difficulty placing please contact me! I came to be the happy mother of Molly because she had been rejected from a couple of other homes.

Im glad you love your Molly. But what do you mean by double coat? Our breed is a single coated breed. that is , not a double coated breed like the Collie or Sheltie, one with harsh outer guard hairs, and soft undercoat, making the coat stand up off of the skin.

She has "bad hair" I had heard it referred to as a double coat. Her hair is thick underneath and wavey and thin on the outside. She was the only one in her litter with this and was spayed by the breeder.
