What's the difference between...?

Silver fox also have a really soft coat. I suspect they may have common genes, but I'm new at this.

The coat of a Silver Fox is rather unique. It's a bit longer than other "normal" coated breeds, and is what is called a standing coat - when stroked backward, it doesn't lie back down on its own. In almost all other breeds, this would be considered a fault. Shorter-coated breeds have either a "rollback" coat (one where the fur gently settles back into place) or a "flyback" coat (where the fur snaps back down quickly).

Its so exciting to learn about this stuff.

In part, you can see how your lives can become better easier and faster by using what you learn.

Thanks.
