How old is Moxie? Do you have pics that you can post?
It actually sounds to me like she has a silk coat. My male has a cotton coat and he never went through the stage that you are talking about. Having a cotton coat, he was always really fluffy looking. Now my female is almost 6 months and about five minutes after her bath her hair startes to separate again. Are the roots white/silver color with darker tips? If so I would think you may have a silk coat and on your hands and your pups coat is just "breaking." The roots are coming in silky, but the tips are still that puppy fur. Pics would be a great help!
