....maybe the debate could be moved to the appropriate (Breeding) forum.
To the original poster...I don't know if your thread will be able to get back on track at this point...maybe it would help to just start a new one! Sorry I can't help you...maybe more pictures from other angles would help, too!

"So many" on this forum are just concerned with the preservence of our breed. I wish I could honestly anwser Potter's question about her baby's coat...but being I have no clue about the lineage, history ect...I really can't. All I can do is tell her that I hope his coat comes in. When some see a paticular "phrase" such as "red leg" or "flop ear" ect ect...it tends to draw the discussion into more depth. It doesn't mean anyone meant any harm. I feel it aids in the long run. Giving lots of info on a "paticular" subject. I happen to appreciate that.
Potter, I'm happy to offer you some advice on a wiry coat... Try to bathe frequently. If you want something to grow...water it! Use a good protein conditioner. Pet silk makes many products that may help you. I wouldn't say go out and buy the most expensive out there as far as vellus, isle of dogs, plush puppy or pnderosa at this time being your baby is a pup and you are still waiting to see how the coat evolves. Use a silk serum finisher along with a good shampoo and cond. You may even want to consider an oral supplement or change in diet for coat and skin. Omega three fatty acid. Best wishes to you always.
