I think there are several ways to tell.
First I have read that if the hair on the head has some white mixed
in with it as a puppy and the color is more golden than tan chances
are the coat will be silky. Buddy did have white hairs on his
chest as well as white/silver mixed in with his gold color as a puppy.
Also if the eye's show up green when a picture is taken most times
the coat is a silky one.
Buddy has a silky coat and as a puppy he was the softest silkest
thing I have ever held. Although he did change colors as he grew
the texture never changed. Prue softness and his coat is pin straight.
No waves or curls at all.
I am sure other's will have more suggestions for you but that's about
all I know.
