Honestly, Indy looks just like Java, but larger. Java's hair does the same. She has more of a coarse hair texture on top running along her topline while the rest is soft. If you part the hair on top, the soft hair is also underneath. Labs have dual coats, a harsh top coat, and a softer "down fur" underneath. It helps protect them from the elements and to slick water off when swimming.

Whenever I give Java a bath it's really hard to have her get wet like most dogs cause the water just rolls right off and doesn't absorb. I only bathe her maybe twice a year and never brush her.

I feed Java TOTW Wetlands Formula and have noticed a difference in her coat. I also think her being lean helps her coat look healthy. I hope this helps some.

Here's some super close ups of her hair along her topline, I can try and get some shots of the softer fur if you'd like.





Java is also a bit DA, more like "don't touch me and I won't touch you" and would rather just ignore other dogs.
