Default puppies coats thinning at 7 wks???

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help me?... my litter of f1 puppies are now nearly 7 weeks, most of the puppies have (or had) longer fluffy coats, but these type of coats appear to be changing. The longer hairs seem to be thinning out and the coats are becoming rougher. Is this right? Are they shedding the puppy coats already?? and if so will they still blow their coats at around 6 months as well? Two of the long haired pups don't seem to be thinning and are still quite soft.

So there now appear to be 3 different coat types in this litter....
- fluffy longer coats
- longer coats that are thinning and becoming rougher
- soft shorter hair coats

Could anyone give me an idea on how these 3 types will develop?
I would really appreciate it if any experienced f1 breeders could answer my questions!
Thank you!!
