She looks silky to me. Color changes can occur many times as the pup grows, even as an adult, and sometimes the hair at the root will change color as it matures, so it's hard to tell exactly what is going on. Medications and medical conditions can cause color changes as well.

If you want to have her in full coat, just let it grow out. Maybe just a trim here and there. The weight of the coat helps to train it to lay right, keep the part straight, and keeps the facial hair going in the right direction. Look at pics of show dogs and copy the parts on the nose for the topknot and beard. Then just maintain and see what happens colorwise.


Her Christmas pic is adorable!
