I think in that instance it was a matter of symantics. Now we refer to a
puppy as a plush coat if the coat is extremely thick and somewhat soft but
not long. And even though we have had plush puppies it is no guarentee that
their coat will be plush as adults. Many times after the "puppy shed" the
coat comes in less thick and more coarse. We have also had a couple of true
long coats through the years, interesting to note, they have always stood
out in their litters for their intelligence and attention. Have not had
enough to be able to state this as more than an observance.
