Why is my 5-month-old Eskimo puppy's coat scraggly after shedding?

Question

Hello! So my little Eskimo is 5 months old now. He shed most of his puppy coat and now he looks so scraggly. I’m worried his pretty, long coat won’t come in or that I did something wrong while brushing him. Is it normal for Eskimo puppies to shed that quickly and look a little scraggly for a while?

Puppies can look a little scraggly when losing their puppy coat, but it could also be there is a problem with Winter such as fleas, allergies, or mites. Without seeing him in person, I can't be certain. Have him checked out by a vet to be safe.
