Oh, no! I was just making a comment about rounded ears. That has nothing to do with coat type.

Shape of ears does NOT have anything to do with coat. Eye shine is better to use in determining what kind of coat a dog has.

IMO he is soft..he had a warm eye flash and that is rarely wrong. I have never had it be wrong..photo's can be be tricky..use a flashlight in a dark room for an accurate eye flash.

The dog eye Doc explained to me why this is true and now I can not remember..LOL I will look in my book.

Kizzy looks silk to me..

Kizzy looks silk to me..

thank you. I know nothing about these puppies as this is my first one. But I thought the silk coats were so smooth and long and to me Kizzys always looks so straggly 30 minutes or an hour or so after I brush her. So would you still say she is silk? She will be 5 months july 3rd and I just thought she had a cottony coat since she looks straggly and not so smooth. I was thinking, am I'm gonna have a puppy that has this straggly looking hair all her life? But she is pretty either way to me. But I do hope her hair gets a little smoother soon. It has started parting down the middle behind her head from the base of her neck to her tail now. So its getting longer.

Looks modifed to me also. I have a cotton coat and she does follow the warm red/orange eyes when taking pictures, matts easy, is still pretty dark at over 1 1/2 years old. But her face hair is nice and silky and never mats. I love the colors. The legs are in between but the body is positively more cotton. Its hard to describe but if you think about a cotton swab and the tips sometimes gets a little fuzzy-its kind of like that on some hair parts. Bottom line- her hair is a mixture.
