Maggie has a very beautiful coat!! And look at those cute feet!!
Can I jump in on this thread??
Mardelin, I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of Scampers' coat. I always felt like it was silk because it feels so silky and is always shiny and seems to really reflect the light. His parents and grandparents both had nice thick silk coats. I just second guess myself. He has never had a really good trim, his hair seems to grow slow and I have been waiting for it to get really long before he gets it cut.
Also, do you have any suggestions for the hair breaking?? I put his hair up in a topknot all the time. But it has caused some serious damage. You can see the hair is broken and it feels so dry compared to the rest of him. I don't want to cut the topknot off and I have tried clips and scrunchies but they don't stay in. I have tried the sea breeze oil and it has helped it from getting worse but hasn't helped really get any better.
Here is a picture of Scamp's coat. Don't mind his ears, they tend to flop down when he is sleeping.
He really needs a good trimming, all of his ends are dry and he still has some of the puppy coat on him because on his head he still has three colors. His head is all gold but if I trimmed it down to where you see that his head is all gold, he wouldn't have enough hair to put in a top knot. So I have been trimming a tiny bit and little by little you can start to see the gold rather than the old puppy hair that was black and silver. |
