What in the world is the uglies?
The Uglies is a stage in the Pomeranians growth that produces a loss of hair at about 4 months of age. We think the ugly stage is pretty funny, but if youre not expecting it, you may think your Pom has some horrible disease (the picture to the left is Mojo in full-blown ugly stage). Typically a Pom will loose their baby coat beginning at anywhere from 3 to 4 months and it takes until they are approximately 10 months to get their beautiful adult coat. The good news is that if you have a male Pom, once theyve gone through their uglies stage, they keep their adult coat with very little difference over the course of their life (incidental shedding only). The bad news is that if you own a female Pom she will blow her coat once or twice a year (its a girl thing).
