She's beautiful - she seems to have more of the cottony coat - I'm definitely not an expert but she looks similar to Darwin who has a cottony coat. I think cottons and silkies are both pretty in their own way - Darwin's hair grows but as it tangles more then Mabel's (silky) we keep it cut shorter. I've seen beautiful long cottony coats on this site; just make sure you keep up the brushing once or twice daily, feed quality food and use the proper hair shampoo/conditioner.
