| Dirty fur at rear end! My little girl is only 5 months old and her fur is not very long, but i noticed her struggling to "do her deposits". On closer inspection i found that a large amount of mess had dried in her fur. I washed her and cut away the fur as best i could, i think i got most of it off and that she is now reasonably clean. Obviously i am planning to keep a regular check on this and to trim the fur in that area regularly. Just wondering if anyone else has any other tips that might help me keep on top of this? Thanks in advance... |

| That is a very common problem with long haired dogs. Just do what you said and keep it trimmed. If you take her to a groomer they will do it for you, but it is not hard to do yourself. Much easier to keep it timmed then to pick the poop out of it. LOL |

| I check both of mine weekly. I bought clippers and when necessary I "buzz" their butts. Lucy is used to it, but the first time I did Rebel's (10 weeks old) he screamed bloody murder! It just goes along with owning a long haired baby.

| I use a cordless moustache trimmer and keep it nice and neat. I check each time I brush her (daily).
