Some authorities make the distinction that hair grows continuously (although it eventually reaches a maximum length and falls out), whereas fur grows to a fixed length and stops.- - - - - -Scientific American published an interview in 2001, with an expert mammologist from the New York American Museum of Natural History, where the question of the difference between hair and fur was asked. The short answer is, "no difference"). It's very interesting, and can be found here:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-difference-beWhether it is referred to as "hair", or "fur"; how long it grows; and whether it ever stops growing, is based :- first on the species of mammal involved(for example, neck hair on horses, versus neck hair on cats)- then - if there are breeds of that mammal - on the breed(for example, the length of neck hair/fur on Siamese cats versus length of neck hair/fur on Persian cats, or length of neck hair/fur on Friesian or Andalusian horses , or Appaloosa horses )- and finally on the genetics of the individuals themselves.When, or if, the hair/fur in a certain area ever stops growing, depends on the type of hair/fur it is.Whether fur/hair is shed, depends on all of the above, as well.See also:What_is_the_difference_between_hair_and_fur
