Same with the coats, they often are the pick in the litter at the time we sell them, they certainly are pretty and plush and appear to have heavier bone then there normal coated litter mates (not always the truth because the hair gives the illusion) I think their Temperaments seem stronger because you just can not, not pick up that pretty fluffy coat, LOL so they handled a bit more. Many times we do not see them as adults so it may not end up that way. But in our minds they are stars but for the coat. Some are, some aren't. Deb In a message dated 7/2/2012 6:24:41 A.M.
