If you have silk grandparents and parents, the odds of anything but silk is slim, but possible in a small percent.
Breeding a silk parent and soft parent will result in some of each..and the puppies will each carry silk and soft genes..what they are bred with has a big impact on the breeding programs future...you can impact it by going to the soft or silk offspring..
BUT you would not breed to intentionally produce a cotton coat, it was just a question asked out of curiosity, correct? |
Yes I am just curious. Can cotton coats be show dogs? And if not why do they cost the same as silky coated pups ? And if you do have cotton and silky coated pups in the same litter, can you tell which ones will be silk and which will be cotton when they are around 12 weeks old or more?
