I am wondering exactly what " modified" means.. I read a post by a breeder who stated that " most" cottony coats dont break early.. I used to think Laci had a cotton coat. ( her eyes shine RED) , but she has truely broken beautifully... Her face is nearly all such a pretty golden color, and her fur is a very pretty shade of blue/gray, and now that she turned 1 I can see even a ligter silvery shade coming in as I am letting her hair grow out a big ( she is normally shaved..) her hair on her face and legs is very light golden and very silky soft. Could it be that she has more of a modified coat and it would be possible to let it grow a bit???
