| Coat Hello eveyone, I'm new to this website and i had a question regarding my baby girl's white hair on her skull. I just wanted to know if anyone had a clue as to what her coat might look like based on the white hairs? She's 13wks. I hope this doesn't sound strange. |

| Have you figured out how to post pictures yet? We need to see pictures of this baby's head. Both of mine have a white head and their coats are totally different from each other.

Some have them and some don't. Buddy had little white hairs on the top of his head ahd and on his chest. I believe that means they will have a darker ,richer color, tan. Buddy is almost chestnut color. I may be wrong but I read that here a long time ago. | |

| I'll post pics tomorrow. but the tan on her legs are slightly pale. i also had another question: Apparently the breeder that I bought her from was using pantene pro v on her. So when I took her to the vet he recommended me to bathe her once a week b/c her skin is that dry. |

dry skin. Pantene is used by many YT'ers and they like it. I bathe Buddy every two weeks, per my vet and he has never had a skin problem. If your little one is out in the yard daily playing you may need to bathe her once a week. No more than that at least until her skin clears up. PetSilk and Minksheen are two other's that are good. I swear by Minsheen if she has a silky coat. It has a conditioner and flea repellant in it already. PetSilk you will need PetSilk conditioner also. | |

| I've never heard of anyone using Pantene on a dog Quote:
I'm surprised your vet would have recommended weekly bathing. Excessive bathing is one of the most drying things you can do. Did he recommend a specific shampoo or coat conditioner, or any supplements? | |

| It was a medicated shampoo that he prescribed for her. I also had a question about companion food: Is it ok to feed her one pouch of that per day? She weighs 2.9lbs. |
