You might be able to 'guess' how long it will take by using the lengths it has already grown over the time periods between clippings. But, as to final length possible, I think that is likely a 'wait and see' prospect.

As to coat 'type' I would guess that if Priscilla's coat has a sheen to it, then it is silky at least to some extent...even if it would be called a 'modified' coat. If it 'is' silky, and if it 'will' grow to a full length, it 'might' look something like Mia's when it is longer. She is golden, having lost all her black, silky, and her hair grows straight and FAST! She was cut really short when we got her on 8/13/11...this photo was taken 11/25/12 and she has not been trimmed since she came to live with us.

Priscilla is a cute girl...her coat is only a small part of her charm, but there is no reason you cannot try growing it out to see what happens next!

I'm just curious about what's called a "modified coat". Does that basically mean somewhat silky, but not quite? There's no curl & the coat still drops?
