He seems to have a decent enough coat, the breeder said he would need stripping every 6 months but 2 months on adn his coat hasnt grown at all (although i noticed a few more hairs some out when i test strip), he came from a litter that was extremely varied in coat type, one blue merle with black coat, one dark grizzle one light grizzle and 1 female light grizzle. So I expect the coat type will be pretty varied too!

Heya, I've been there and you wont get help

Your only hope is the PDSA and if you dont meet thier requirment thats it no help
The RSPCA claim they will help any injured animal but they wont pay out for it or even do it themselves unless you impoopund it as a stray and then buy it off them later on and say to them you've noticed somethings wrong with whoevers dog this was, but i'd never do that.

They will however give you a number you can call to get money off neutering or spaying your pet.

Sad fact is no one will offer support unless you had insurance before the alleged need for medication, and they usually find an escape clause anyway

You'd get disqualified from dog competitions if they found that in your bag though, thats what my breeder told me!

I dont think i'll be staying long! I only came for some advice and everyones shouting!
