Dicho pelaje es naturalmente......

In my post about beaver characteristics A member suggested the following

Dicho pelaje es naturalmente......

I understand "pelaje" is a better translation than "piel" for fur, but I couldn't figure out "Dicho pelaje....."

In the SD dictionary under the word "dicho" I found the following:

adjective -- Dichos animales -> the said animals

-- En dicho país -> in this country

So I think "dicho" can be used as an adjective and can mean "this".

Dicho pelaje es naturalmente......This fur is naturally......

Is my reasoning fairly valid and do you use "dicho" as an adjective for "this" very often in your Spanish country.

More context: El castor tiene diferentes tonos de color marrón oscurro en el pelaje. Dicho pelaje es naturalmente......

"Dicho pelaje" = "The fur that we are talking about"

Does this have anything to do with a previous sentence referring to fur? So since fur is established in the conversation "dicho" may be used?

Eso es, Bandit. Puedes decir "dicho pelaje" porque estabas hablando del pelaje en la oración anterior. - Cordobesa, Feb 19, 2012

Hola bandit, here are some examples:

  • Los trabajadores realizarán una marcha de protesta contra los impuestos, dicha marcha se llevará a cabo el día martes, 12 de febrero.

  • La policía atrapó a una banda de ladrones que operaba en la zona sur de la ciudad. Se sabe que dicha banda asaltó el banco estatal.

En el diccionario de la R A E, está como:

1 . adj. Mencionado antes. Dicho individuo. Dichas tierras.

And yes, it is usually used. Well, see you amiga.
