Is Maci a parti? I see she has a white spot on her chest? I agree with the others, her head is the first to start showing. When we got Uni at 12 weeks, we didn't know anything and her head was already changing. We thought she was balding! She had her "racing stripe" between her eyes until she was about two, that too forever to grow out. Her body changed light really quickly though. I hear that silky coats turn quicker and cotton coats stay darker and change later (but overall grow faster).
Grow her hair out if that's what you want, despite the hubby. He's not the one brushing anyway right? LOL I used to cut Uni in a puppy cut until she was about 2, come to find out bf wanted her hair long!
oops.
