Doberman coarse hair

I think they all vary by genetics. Our boy Elroy has a different coat than our others have and it's almost wavy along his spine. All of our blacks have had a denser coat with some coarser or softer than others.
Maybe coconut oil just rubbed in?

She would eat the entire worlds supply of anything if I allowed it. And then would still be hungry for more

One tin usually has 4 pieces so we give it 2x a week just to spread it out.

The standard calls for a hard coat. It says "Smooth-haired, short, hard, thick and close lying. Invisible grey undercoat on the neck permissible." The coat down the back specifically should have a bit of wiry texture in blacks and reds. Fawns and Blues may feel more wirey, as the melanin isn't evenly distributed through the hair shaft. These lumps of melanin leaves these areas of the strands brittle, and easier to break. I see you obviously, have a black dog, but thought I would mention it for future readers that may find the thread.
I think the sardines mentioned before can definitely be helpful. I mix one or two into my boys meals here and there, not necessarily for the coat, but I am sure it doesn't hurt.
