Your baby looks silky to me... i think matting can happen to any coat though. My Dexter is cotton coat and he is VERY dark. His tan is dark tan, his black never turned steel grey, he is still jet black. His coat is VERY thick and does not lay flat against his body at all. Its like he has an all over wavy afro. The ONLY thing that works is getting him shaved by the groomer. Whatever the groomer uses and the shortness of the cut can get me 2 months mat free with him, then he minimally mats for a month before he goes back. Right now he's WAAYYY overdue for grooming and he's a MESS. Knotted EVERYWHERE. Even the top of his head mats. He WILL NOT let us brush him, he FREAKS out and I eventually get sooo worked up I have cried out of sheer frustration with him. I say every time that I give up, but I keep trying to get him used to the brush... just not happening! I just have a messy pup (and my other boy, his litermate, is so silky, hes never matted once in his life!) go figure!
