I read in the book the Joy of Breeding your own show dog and Ann Searne explained this when looking at a puppy coat...the hair on the legs will be sparse and thin on a silky coat and a pup with puffy and full hair on the legs will usually turn out a cotton or a soft coat. I have found that to be true. Just like the light test in the eyes when you take their picture...if in the picture the eyes are green ( I think LOL ) you'll have a silky coat and if the eyes are red a soft to a cotton coat.
Again, it's all up to interputation....what I would call a modified silk coat someone else will say it's pure silk and what I call a soft coat someone will say it's a modified silk...LOL...I can pick the faults in my own dogs and tell ya but some just won't admit to what they have....again it's all in interputation..
