Hair/Fur
[edit]Re-edited on topic of PWD pelage. All mammals have hair. You can call if fur, but the correct biological / medical / anatomical designation is hair. I have cited a definitive source. FWIW, I am a veterinarian and own 2 PWD's, so am somewhat expert in the field. While I am absolutely fine with the generic term fur (and the awful "furbabies") in general conversation, there is no use for differentiating "hair" and "fur" in an encyclopedia, as 1) they are scientifically identical and 2) there is no non-scientific general consensus on the difference in levels of shedding and growth habit between what is referred to as "hair" versus "fur." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hiobazard (talk • contribs) 17:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
