Question Different Hair Length

My first Boxer Baby just got me and I'm wondering about her hair....most of it is very short and close to the body but she also has alot of longer hair just here and there...Is this a puppy thing or something? I was told it is caused by inbreeding.....and well I'm new to the wonderful world of boxers so I have no clue about it at all.....if anyone can help me answer this it would be great
Thanks Hannah and her mom

If it's what I'm thinking of it's just a puppy thing and the longer hairs will soon be shed.

My Brindy is 15months old and she has longer hair on her hind quarter legs(back of her thigh). And she has a few longer hairs on her belly. But other than that she is short haired. I might both her parents and she wasn't inbreed at all. I think when the boxer ages the coat get tighter and shorter. Of course not all boxers are created the same each is unique in its on way.
