| That explains it! I think Gizmo has a more wooly coat. It's thick and healthy. It doesn't break, but boy does it matt. Thanks for this info.

| Thanks for the info......I always thought my Jack had a cottony coat but this article said it is typically thin....Jacks is thick & mats easily, so I think it's woolly..

| well what abot the modified coats??? my boy does not mat, the ends of his hair is not bushy and his coat is neither thick or thin he does not fit in either catagory so what about him??? he is not silk as the silk coated pups always have that velvety soft silky shiny coat and he did not have that as a pup.

| I have a cotton coated yorkie and his hair is very thick and mats when he just walks around, I also have a wooly coated girl, her hair is thinner than the cotton coat, but not as thin as a true silk coat. The cotton and wooly seem to be warm to the touch, while silk coats are cool to the touch and do not mat as easy. When you lift up a true silk coat and drape it over the back of your hand and run it across the hand it is cool to the touch, almost like silk fabric moving across your hand. |

| well Jeanie is a wooly coat not a cottony coat. I always thought she was cotton coat but she is very thick, and it is not brittle at all. And mats! I was getting out a mat this AM. I'm sure that's why she runs from me every morning, she thinks I'm going to brush her..... |

| I suppose my Azrael is a Wooly but a cotton coat described in that article doesn't sound quite right to me. A cotton coat is thick and matts easily. They are saying it's a thin coat. |
