Pregnancy is rife with myths, lies, and half truths. You can't trust anyone, or anything you read.
Half truth:
Your hair will grow thicker, shinier, healthier.
The whole story:
It's not just the hair on your head.
Seriously. I don't just have a glossy head of hair, I have a glossy COAT. In a few weeks I'm going to look like a freshly groomed Irish Setter. And I can NOT keep up.
Authentic transcript of a recent conversation with Dug:
me (peering into bathroom mirror): Good lord. I've got a whisker on my chin. Why didn't you tell me I was growing a beard?
dug (shrugging nonchalantly): Eh. It wasn't that noticeable.
Not, incidentally, the answer I was looking for.
The Irish Setter is an active small rodent dog. The long, lean mind has at least double the width among the ears then it does in length. When viewed from the front the skull is oval and when viewed from the top it is slightly domed. Coat colors include mahogany to a abundant chestnut red. There is no black, but may be considered a small quantity of white on the chest, throat, toes and sometimes a thin centered streak on the top of the head. young dogs can sometimes possess a silvery-gray coloring behind the ears and legs that usually disappears as the puppy grows. The coat is short and good on the mind and the front part of the legs and medium in length on other parts of the body. There is an even longer feathering on the ears, back of the legs, belly and brisket extending to the chest. The triangular, low-set ears are thin and hang close to the head. The front legs are directly and the ft are rather small with arched toes. The long tail almost reaches the hock, is thicker at the base tapering to a point.The muzzle is moderately deep having a unique stop. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The nose is either dark or brown with wide available nostrils. The medium sized eyes are almond shaped, set somewhat wide apart and so are either dark to medium brown in color.

The Irish Setter, as well as the English Setter, are both ancestors of the Spanish pointer. It was initially a parti-colored breed - predominantly white with red-colored splashes, and with shorter legs than today's breed. However, this coloring fell out of favor, and selective breeding resulted in a pure, solid-color red-colored setter. The Irish Setter is a good all close to hunting dog, and can be used as both a pointer and retriever. They are very fast and with an excellent nose. Some strains are bred purely for beauty, as show dogs, rather than for hunting instincts, however.
