Sebaceous adenitis and hair loss in a dog. Sebaceous adenitis is an uncommon skin disease found in some breeds of dog, and more rarely in cats, rabbits and horses. [1] characterised by an inflammatory response against the dog's sebaceous glands (glands found in the hair follicles in the skin dermis), which can lead to the destruction of the gland.
The Havanese and the various poodles are also occasionally corded for showing. The cords form naturally (if messily) in tightly curled fur, but to make them attractive for conformation showing, the cords are carefully started by separating clumps of fur in a regular pattern, and tended until they are long enough to grow on their own.

Toy Poodles are a very popular dog breed due to their intelligence, friendly nature, and hypoallergenic coats. However, their unique coat comes with its own set of maintenance requirements.
A Labrador exhibiting a yellow coat colour. Domestic dogs exhibit diverse coat colours and patterns.In many mammals, different colour patterns are the result of the regulation of the Agouti gene, which can cause hair follicles to switch from making black or brown pigments to yellow or nearly white pigments.
It results in different colors and patterns and can affect any coats. The allele creates mottled patches of color in a solid or piebald coat, blue or odd-colored eyes, and can affect skin pigment as well. Two types of colored patches generally appear in a merle coat: brown/liver (red merle) and black (blue merle).
Dog with partially docked tail. Docking or bobbing is the removal of portions of an animal's tail.It should not be confused with cropping, [1] the amputation of ears. Tail docking may be performed cutting the tail with surgical scissors (or a scalpel) or constricting the blood supply to the tail with a rubber ligature for a few days until the tail falls off. [2]
Dogs display wide variation in coat type, density, length, color, and composition. Dogs have a wide range of coat colors, patterns, textures and lengths. [1] Dog coat color is governed by how genes are passed from dogs to their puppies and how those genes are expressed in each dog.
The goal was to produce a dog that was willing and easy to train, intelligent, and loved water and retrieving, like the poodle, and add to that a great desire to hunt, a strong pointing instinct, and an excellent nose, like in the English Pointer, as well as being an excellent companion in the home.
