One of my now passed girls had a cotton coat, she always looked like a hot mess even after she was brushed. I kept her hair long, well, as long as it would get which wasn't really long because of the wavy hair, it never laid flat, her hair also matted easily. At age 10 I took her to the groomer for a puppy cut and OMG, she looked like a different dog and sooooo much cuter.
My adopted boy Cody was shaved when I got him, I didn't know what king of hair he would have, I let it grow for 8 months, saw he was a cotton coat, off to the groomer we went.
My other 3 girls now all passed had beautiful silky long hair.
I agree with Bluebells, it's difficult to tell looking at a picture, you do need to feel the hair texture.
