Sammy wants to thank everyone for the nice compliments! I believe he was blushing! He was a late bloomer I think. His mane was not nearly as fluffy around Christmas time, but I am thinking that maybe since the weather didn't start getting cold until the end of December, his mane started growing wildly then.
He certainly spends enough time cleaning it, styling it, fluffing it.
I wonder what he may have mixed in his family. His tail is very huge, his body fur is medium, and he has a big beard. He also weighs 14 pounds! he is 1 1/2 years old.
