Docket is basically smooth, though not lacking an undercoat. It seems to come with the light build, because the other lightly build Cardi's I've seen also have smoother coats. Most Cardis have longer, heavier coats (and heavier builds) than he does, but they aren't "poofy" like the Pems. Interestingly, "fluffy" doesn't seem to be a separate gene, the way it is in Pems . . .there are Cardi's called "fluffies" and it is a serious fault (or DQ? I cant' remember), but it is a continuum . . . some "fluffy" Cardis, with creative grooming, can make it into the ring, and I'm told some of them are bred to add density to the coats of the pups, even though the "fluffy" parent might not be showable.
