how glossy should their coats be?

i know healthy dogs should have a "shiny, glossy" coat, but can it be too shiny? Lola looks like she's wearing silk in the sunlight sometimes. not really a concern, just a random pondering

Don't know, I just thought shiny was good!

Moo isn't that glossy but her colour doesn't really shine being very light Xx sounds like Lola is in great condition Xx

certain fur colours do no matter what look shinier then others. White fur i find does not look any where near as shiny as black for example.

But as long as their fur is clean and its not shiny due to being greasy then it's fine

Tilly shines like a Daimler bonnet , but Tommy's coat just looks healthy

Rocky twinkles like a diamond

Vins is quite shiny too. 

Generally, the darker the fur, the more shiny it is. It's a sign of a nice, healthy dog!

and the cleaner they look, why did i pick white dogs again?  

Because of their cute little pink faces when they get too hot, and the baldie bellies.

oh yer definitely 'mucky' boldy bellies!

 

lola is very very shiny :-) while chloe, cos she's white, doesn't shine as much, but she has 'sparkly bits' if you look closely! (sad that, isn't it - looking closely at my dog's coat)?

Nah, it isn't sad.

Dempsey can be shiny sometimes. Usually on his head and back.

Yer know what you mean with the sparkly bits, Harvey with having a brindle head is really shiny but the rest of him is white so he looks odd
