The quality of the silken coat varies, especially in different bloodlines. Some have the thick silk, others a thin sparse coat that does not thicken up until the dog is about 2 years old, and yet others have a wiry, hard coat that does eventually develop into a thick, silken steel blue.


From my understanding, a hard silk coat is very strong, and doesn't break easily at all; thinner/finer hair is stronger than coarser hair.

That isn't what I was describing. Hard silk does not usually develop into thick coats and they break. I don't think it's a desirable coat.
