The breeder had told me, some of the more scraggly looking pups (sparse hair/oily appearance), have the silkier coats but nothing can be guaranteed. I can imagine the more experienced show breeders know exactly what to look for and at what point i.e., 12 weeks, 16 weeks.   
Thanks, Joey is a stud      |  
 
  I've heard that too, cotton coats are typically thicker and grow faster and many people love the look, but I can tell you that silky coats are so much easier to care for.   
By the way, my little stud did go through an awkward period.
