Mixing coats will give you some pups with soft coats, some with silk coats.. it depends on what types of coats run in the line..genes are not like mixing paint. Add black to white and get grey...you can not take an incorrect gene and breed to a correct gene and change the gene...a gene is set in DNA..

Breeding "types" to appeal to a buyer is not how to breed ethically. Breed to the standard, you will get enough screw ups trying to do right, let alone planning to breed incorrectly...Mother Nature can be a heartless, cruel old bitty at times.
