: I purchased a JRT named Chloe from some local breeders. While we were, we saw the parents of Chloe and they were both smooth coats and now that Chloe is 4 mos. old she is showing signs of having a broken coat (mohawk down her back). Is this possible? P.S. Just found this website and I love it, great job and keep up the good work!

Hi Dorothy,

It's quite possible to end up with a broken coated pup even if both parents appear smooth. You also need to look what is behind the parents and if there are broken/roughs in the pedigrees, this can be why Chloe is a broken coat.
