Dogs do not molt. Birds Molt. Dogs shed or blow coat. Usually they shed or blow thier coat twice a year. From thicker winter coat to thinner summer coat and back again. Their are breeds of dogs that have coats that do not shed all at one time and grow longer due to a genetic mutation. This mutation occurred and man bred these dogs together by line breeding and forcing all other natural variants out. These breeds would not servive in nature due to the fact the hair requires constant care, trimming, grooming, plucking, plating and other things to prevent it from becoming matted. Matted hair on dogs becomes painful as it pulls the hair tighter and tighter until the skin tears and sores develop. This leads to infections.
