To Dixon and Scooter: Dixon - I have heard of the occasional remission, but it is definitely uncommon. It seems to coincide with the period of coat change, but unfortunately, in most cases, the hair disappears again next spring and the hair loss is even worse in most cases. In this business, though, we never say never. I've seen some really wild things over the years, so I would be happy to see another one. Usually the really bald ones don't grow any hair back, so Scoooter's way ahead of the game. Keep us posted on his progress....
