If you have a slick that you are considering breeding, make sure you know the pedigree very well, for both dogs.
I have used a slick coated dog in the past, and we improved our coats in that litter and in future litters. However, we were careful not to breed him to anything with slick dogs close up in the background.
As far as I am aware he never produced a slick. However, I don't know about any of his progeny that I don't own. If the owners of those pups didn't pay attention.....
Once you get that gene in there doubled or tripled up, you may have trouble getting it out and getting proper coats. These dogs can be very useful, just do your homework first.
