What are puppy uglies?
Pomeranian puppies go through a juvenile stage called the uglies.  Your adorable cute, fuzzy pup starts to lose its coat and looks down right pathetic.
DON'T PANIC
This is completely normal!  Your puppy doesn't have the mange and there is nothing wrong.  This is a normal stage of coat development.  Some pups take quite a while to get in their new fluffy coat and some transform quite quickly.  I have seen them go as long as 6 months in their uglies and then wow...  They have a gorgeous coat!
 The thing to remember is not to panic.  Your beautiful pup  will have a beautiful full coat again . 
Here are some pictures of our very own Mickey .  His uglies were really ugly, he looked like a deer in the headlights..  But now, he's a beautiful boy with a full coat.
