He's so adorable, but really, have you ever read the story about the ugly duckling? It's really applicable here. Puppies with silk coat don't look as poufy and cute as those with what your breeder calls hard silk, but I think they actually have cotton coats. Silk coats look thin on puppies, not ever poufy, but they grow into gorgeous adults. Forget the looks, do you have any idea how hard it is to take care of a cotton coat, they mat all the time. Now a puppies coat will mat, but a silky coat usually outgrows this by a year. Cotton coats will mat all their lives and you really have to be dedicated to keep the mats out. I think you are the lucky one, and I'm shocked your breeder isn't keeping this guy in her breeding program. The others don't have the correct hair, and hopefully they have gone to people who have lots of time to dedicate to grooming.
