Hey "Dacota"!

Thank`s for sending so quickly more photos first of all ! - You really have 6000 pictures of your dog ? Whaooo...I´m impressed!

Ok, on your new pictures difference can be seen better than in the first two ones, that´s right. It´s thick coat, but not very long.

Your dog has not so LONG winter coat like Emba or the dog of "GalomyOak" - and this might be caused by the reason you wrote in your first posting.( Not sleeping outside in winter time.)

But may be it´s caused also by genetics - just like what Margo has told before, it´s my experience too.
Some dogs get long AND thick hair in winter, others only thick but not long (or longER ). And some have completely lacked the ability to get a warm "winter-jacket"... but that´s more an exception for wolfdogs i think.

At last i want to tell you thank you for invitation and that of course i`d like to visit you in winter , if it´s not too far away from my place
- so where are you living exactly ? ( You can send me pm if you like .)

Bye- bye, see you

Silvester
