It is fasinating isn't it. See Tally had one of each. Black Mummy red Daddy. Daddy prob doesn't have the thickiest of coats, but wouldn't say like Tallys either really. He's a gorgeous boy. Fell for him straight off.  :luv:

Dru as Jeanette says has 2 black parents. Maybe that does play a part.  :huh:

Yep they have the same Daddy :luv: It must be the lines cos Belles Daddy is Golden but has a thick coat but so does her Mum, Montys Mum was Golden and also had a thick coat, I have only seen a pic of Monty and Tallys Dad so not sure about his coat? Sarah might know?
Just reread that and it doesn't give the full details Belles sire was Golden and thick coat, Dam was Black also thick coat = Belle Black with a thick coat.
Montys Sire Golden/red average coat, Dam Golden and thick coat = Monty Golden with less coat.

Tally - Sire red average coat & Dam black average coat = sparse red coat.
Dru -Sire black thick coat & Dam black thick coat = VERY thick black coat.  :shades: :005:

Remember that grooming and neutering also plays a part. Both my boys are entire and handstripped. While Tallys 2 full sisters are spayed and clipped and they are the wooliest bears you've ever seen.  :shades: :005:

Both of mine are unneutered but have been clipped twice now following the gloss paint incident ph34r How it will affect their coats is yet to be seen I suppose, but the difference in their amount and type of coat was noticeably different prior to clipping ;)

I forgot he used to walk around looking like this, as you can see he was hairier than Monty.

Wow I would say he gives Belle a good run for her money ;) can you believe they looked like that once  :005: :005: :005: :005:
His coat looks very similar in texture and quantity to Belles , Much more coat than Monty at the same age ;)
