Yes, there are varying amounts of coat. Some dogs can have a tight coat, shorter, probably what Liam has. Some have a bit longer, and some have what is called a "glamour" coat. Not a fluffy but a lot of coat. This coat should still have the harsh texture and no feathers.

Some dogs get a bit more coat as they mature, but usually a puppy coat is pretty plush.

The "fluffy furnishings" are called "pants". Some are longer than others, again should never be like feathers on a Golden.

Did that help?
