However, not all dogs grow and shed their hairs at a uniform rate, and some dogs that do not shed much at all, shed only lightly, or shed small amounts on an ongoing basis may have a rather staggered process of coat growth and renewal. If your dog does not go through a couple of phases of very heavy shedding over the course of the year, they probably fall into this category. This means that across the whole of the coat, different hairs are in any one of the four growth stages, leading to a staggered process of loss and renewal, although this will tend to become slightly more pronounced around the turn of the seasons.
