Lily is 4 months old today and I think she has a nice thick coat...it mats underneath bad though in places. I don't know much about all of that stuff yet. Her mommy seemed to have a nice thick coat and when I got her they had shaved the daddy because they said "when their females are in heat he rolls in everything real bad and had to be shaved"?? There were 2 females that had puppies when I got Lily and the other "mommy" had more thin silky looking hair I think and Lily's mommy was thicker and her color was black/brown and she was 4 yrs old if that means anything at all?? The other female was more "silver" color and the daddy was the same daddy to both liters at the time I got her. The breeder had 15 dogs in her house all running around in and out!! Lily is AKC and they all seemed well cared for.....I guess this is "hand raised"!!LOL They seemed to love their dogs so I was happy for that. |
