Lucy has the cottony coat and I tell you it is a lot more work. It is thick and fluffy and somewhat curly (on her behind.) I am trying to grow it out and it seems like it never really grows and just gets wavy and out of control. SHe looks like a mop. Maybe if one day it will grows out and look awesome?? Milo has the silk hair and although it is a lot thinner it is not much work. I mean they both need the special shampoos,conditioners and products..but his seems to stay in place more.
