Lee, I wish I could be of more help but I think I have already told you all I know on this subject. I am still learning myself and this is something that is not really easy to explain. Different lines break differently and grow at different rates. This is where going to a dog show would really come in handy for educational purposes or visit a show breeders home. I have asked experienced breeders to explain terms like soft coated and modified silk and I have never got any clear answers. What one breeder calls a silky coat, another breeder might call a soft coated coat or modified silk or even cottony. Just keep studying and you will get there. It all takes time. |
