My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I don't do anything special, I just have not cut it. He's had one big cute when he was little and ever since then I groom him and I don't cut his face at all. His is getting really long Good luck! |

| To grow it for show we section it and band it so that it falls back from the head. When it grows long enough we oil it and wrap it. Start with the banding, if he messes with it tell him no and give him a diversion. You'll be surprised how fast he'll get used to it. Just be sure that it isn't pulling anywhere and take it down daily to prevent matting. Brush it out each day and start again. Make sure that he is getting a top quality food as good hair starts from within.

| Can I ask a related question? At what age is their hair long enough to put a top knot in? Zoe is 17 weeks and the hair more around her eyes just does not fit in. Am I doing something wrong or should I be trimming it somewhere or is that normal for her age? Theresa |

| I have Seabreeze by Plush Puppy and Coat Oil by Pet Silk. I mix the Seabreeze 1 tsp/ 16 oz. water, the Coat Oil I use straight and comb through well. Because I use plastic wraps I don't like to put water on the coat before wrapping it. I'm afraid it won't dry properly and will mold. Connor's furninshings were not what they should be at the last show and I got fussed at by the handler and my show mentor. So now the poor guy is all wrapped up or banded. He looks kinda pathetic but it has to be. If I'm going to compete against Caraneal and Thimbletip I'd best get serious. How's your little Kiley doing? Is Trace well? I think of you often and hope you're doing well.

| Seventeen weeks is a bit young, it really depends on how fast the coat is growing. Start with a small barrette and put it a bit closer to the nose. If it won't hold enough hair gather up the hair behind the barette and band it. The trick is to keep it dry and safe so that it doesn't get broken.

I have Teddy who is 2.5 years old and his hair has finally grown so beautiful and long, he LOVES me to GROOM him all over!! But his bangs are driving me batty!! I can't keep a ponytail in it he won't leave it there, pulls, tugs, rolls till it comes out and it gets so matted and tangled, feels rough now and now breaking from hangin' in his face yep it covers his eyes too so I told him something's got to be done with it so I can keep his eyes opened and not covered!!!!! I use the C&C brush...My older girls (ages 23 & 21) tease me and say pretty bad when U're dogs has a designer brush and U're kids don't...What's wrong with this picture Mom? LOL!! Use Plush Puppy ONLY shampoo and cond. on him, use the Primrose stuff from Plush Puppy sometimes but how can I keep it up and not cut it, he just wouldn't look right with it cut and ALL the rest of him long!! Any thoughts? How do I keep it from breaking on his head, he looks as if he's starting to go bald in a spot by his ear. Here's photos of him right after a bath of course he yanked that ponytail right out!!! His coat is soft. Isn't he cute with that tounge out he does this ALL the time! PLEASE someone help me said his bangs!!! Hugs, Lee and Babies! | |
