We brought a 6 year old yellow male from Maryland to live here with us in North Florida last June. He had a massive coat it was super thick with lots of undercoat. He did a lot of shedding last summer. He seems to have lost his undercoat. His top coat is still very thick and looks great, but is there something we can do help is undercoat come back??
I've heard this quite often. Hot Weather. Not 100% of the time and there are Labs that have nice correct coats. But the weather is an issue for so many in the southern hot states

Genetics dictate coat.. weather can help get more of it. I'm guessing your boy stressed with the change, lost his hair and once time passes it will come back. You might consider a high protein, high fat diet to help and possibly run a Thyroid panel, as even a slightly low level (from stress) can inhibit coat growth.
