*I have several who will give the 50/50 chance of long coats if bred to short...I even have bred 2 longs and got short which some say never happen...but remember were breeding Chi's and they make there own rules!...Colors I have had my share even with the rough coat with an undercoat on the outside black tri part the coat she's cream bred to short coat choc tri 3 beautiful blue tri babies...I can tell my long coats usually by 3 weeks of age...when they hit 6 mnths on avg they will blow there coat just as the adults will and look short coat till new coat comes in...Dundee our blue merle didn't have a great coat at 7 mnths when he arrived here but his coat is full now and he too will blow it a few times a year... * 2010/11/5 dasha <[email protected]>
