Feathers, huh? Pantaloons is right on the money and also hilarious.

Me, I call it his pantaloons. LOL I have to look for it but I have a photo that shows them real well.

His mane came in pretty rapidly followed by a hilarious "poof" of white fur under his tail. THEN his tail started coming in. If your pup sports any of those attributes, suspect it's a long hair. Thinking back, Peco's photo at the breeder's site reflected the fact that he was a long-hair quite clearly. He was three months at the time. If there weren't long-haired chi's, I probably would have a papillon or some other fluff muffin. My other dog's a rescue with sort of shepherd/coyote fur. Sheds like there's no tomorrow. Furminate him constantly. Get him furminator baths and brush-outs at PetSmart. By rights, he should be bald. ________________________________ From: Darcy Jacobs <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, October 5, 2010 9:01:01 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Long haired vs short
