Very interesting! Derby's hair was very thin on the legs, but I found it to be soft. He has a slight wave to it when it first grows out, but the longest I have seen it yet? It was starting to part and lay flat. His hair is thin and soft, but I find certain parts of his hair to feel silky, and other parts to feel different. I think it's part of the puppy hair growing out bit. Is that right? That grey/silver hair is so soft! and the lighter/whiter the new hair grows in, the softer it is. He also has those green eyes in reflectiom of pics.

TopKnot -- VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!
