Puppy’s hair on head is soft

[fergie]

Hi everyone. My little guy Ferg is now 6months old and he is growing into a wild fun guy. His coat has come in quite nicely, except the hair on his head has remained soft? I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this....it doesn’t bother me, if anything it just gives him a little more chaos with long face hairs hanging around! I just have never seen a cairn with the same thing and was curious if anyone else had, and curious if he might eventually develop a wiry face.

Whether that face hair is coarse or soft, that is a lovely little face! 

Both of my cairns - one a breeder dog and one a rescue - seem to have softer hair on their faces.  Softer anyway than along their back and bodies.  Not sure what the breed expectation is, but I certainly like the fluff!

Ferg is a cutie!

Breed standard acknowledges that head hair may be softer than the body.

Skull: Broad in proportion to the length with a decided stop and well furnished with hair on the top of the head, which may be somewhat softer than the body coat.

Never mind the (beautiful) brindle hair...Just get a look at the mischievous gleam in those eyes!
