You can't really tell with pictures but I think Mickey's coat looks wirey to me.. Is it rough? But his head doesn't appear to be that way??? Minnie looks silky. Do any of their coats get matted quickly? if they do then that would be a sign of Cotton, also if you bring them into a dark room with all the lights shut off you can see what color their eyes glow, when you put a flash light on them. That is supose to tell you what their coat is.. Not sure if it works though, as my Bell glows yellow and she is cotton and my Lilly glows yellow and she isn't, she has a wire coat.(but it might be becasue she is still very young)

That's such a good point and subject to bring up

I am one that doesn't trust this theory though. I've also had cotton coat glow goldish yellow and a true silky coat do the same

I have also had a silk coat glow green in the same conditions??

Sometimes I get pure red eyes.

So I cannot put alot of faith in the eyes on camera thing but I'd like to hear any one's input on it, I've always been a little curious about this.

Your right Mickeys head feels silky but his back feels rough and no neither get matted at all.well I take that back we did have one bad mat once and that was in Minnies topnot.......... I have seen Mickeys eyes flash green and Minnies eyes flash red ,pink and yellow.???????

Oh yes I saw that picture on another thread and she does look like her Mommy.
Minnie is 17 months.I got her in Ohio . I dont have a picture of her Mommy. But the breeders are going to send me one.

When Mickey isn't brushed does he look really messy?? Kind of like my Lilly on the left?? (I know both look like a mess in this picture), but wanted you to get what I meant by messy. Lilly has a wire coat, just like her dad. But her head and roots are feeling softer, so I'm hoping it will change.
