Yes I think there are several good lines both in Any and now also in Ari with this Durrer input. But this can also be difficult, Ari is a very good dog, I only have few points which I would love to change a bit, that are like changing colour faster, so it will be very difficult to find the right male for her, she has for me a perfect coat, but I have to be careful to find a line, which has similar coat, but not more, otherwise I have the danger to get maybe cottony, I´m just keeping my eyes open right now for a male, although I will not breed her till 2,5 to 3 years of age *lol*. But I think I will look out for one of the Durrer or Tyava line, Camparis will get too dark of wooly with her, same I think with Parkside´s, so we will see.

Why do you redo the wraps every evening when they wear a jacket? I just redo the wraps on body once a week and my dogs wear the jackets all over the day and night. I only redo the wraps on head more often, cause they can become a bit loose because of playing with the other dogs. What kind of jackets do you use? You need those which do not mat the hair, best is satin or a similar elastic material and all wrap except the head and tail wraps have to be inside, including the ones on the for-and hindquarters and on chest. I have no good pic of a dog in a jacket, only this one while eating *lol*, but I think you can get an idea of how the jackets look like. Please do not look at the trousers my girl wears at the pic, she was in heat when we took the foto

Your jacket looks like mine. It is stretchy. I check and change them nightly because they have a tendency to mat under it (top of back) - since I have one baby that likes to roll over on his back and rub. I have another one (girl) that likes to rub up against my slate fireplace. Ugh! But it is better to manage than living them without a jacket. At least they cannot get ot the wraps.
I agree with you about the lines and watching coat testure. Tsa-La-Gi is very, very silky. Durrer's is great too! I like Chandler's coat (Tyava) very nice and silky too. Got to love the Camparis' faces!
