Zack's fur is getting longer and longer, and bushy and shaggy, some places more than others. He's so soft and fluffy, i can barely keep my hands off him sometimes. Belle is a few months older than Zack and her fur is noticeably shorter, it's only a little bit long on her chest and flanks, and her tail fur is longer than Zack's, but her general look is sleek, her fur lays down flat and is shiny. Zack's fur is wavy, going in different directions, and he has that downy soft white fur especially around his rib cage.
Today, i just noticed that his hair is longer where his black color is compared to his white color. He has one small black spot on his right flank and the fur growing out of that black spot is quite long, while the white hair surrounding it is a shorter length. My daughter, Lisa (Belle's mom) was noticing it yesterday. I was looking at it today, and then i noticed that this is true of his black fur in other places. On his right side, he is mostly white, with that one small black spot in particular, while on his left, he has a large black area, 3 or 4 inches, and the white fur right next to it is an inch or two shorter. Then i noticed this is also true of the black fur on his neck, it's longer than the white fur right next to it, and on his head too, there will be wisps of black hair laying over the white areas sometimes when he has been playing and rolling around. And his ear hair is way longer than Belle's.
Is this normal on a tri-colored cavalier, to have the black spots longer than the white hair? On Belle, the blenheim, all the hair is pretty much the same length on both her colors.
