I think the people who usually question whether or not they have a dog with a cotton or silky coat usually have a cotton coated dog.  I wasn't sure about Cooper, my cotton ball at first until my other dog Max's hair started growing out.  Max's hair is quite thin, very straight and doesn't mat but it tangles.  Cooper's hair grows outward instead of down and tends to get very full and fluffy.  I've recently learned that a shorter haircut is much better for him.
