Maybe it tells them something about the quality of the coat?
ZoE's breeder KNEW she would be silky, she was adamant about that, and it turns out she is. She just doesn't tangle. She will matt a little under her armpits if she wears a harness or some types of clothing all day and she walks alot. She also has a deeper gold rather than a lighter gold.
But I think there's more to having a great coat, IMO, because I wouldn't label ZoE's coat great. It is extremely slow growing, and seems somewhat fragile because it breaks off pretty easily. She eats good food and I use the best products on her, but I just think it's what she got dealt genetically. My last yorkie's coat took more time & management than ZoE's, but I her hair grew quickly and was much less prone to breakage.
