The Coronet combines the Silkie's long, smooth, swept-back coat with a single rosette right on the forehead, a little crown that gives the breed its name and its regal expression.
Like all long-haired breeds, Coronets need daily brushing and occasional trims. Owners describe them as sweet-natured and curious, happy to be handled once they trust you.
