Genetics do always enter into it, but I have seen a coat change on ALL my Cavaliers--once neutered. Sometimes the change is minimal and the coat still looks pretty *normal*. Other times the coat changes are more. But they have all changed to some extent. My Prudence and Winnie both have/had straight, gorgeous silky coats even after spaying--but I can honestly say it still is not exactly the same as before they were spayed. Still more length, a slight bit more volume.
As for colors--I don't think it means anything at all. Still just genetics. In my house the whiter dogs tend to get the fuzzier coats and the dogs with more color do not change as much--but the 3 whiter coated dogs are all pretty closely related--mother, daughter, niece.
