I had the same problem with Nathan when i got him..his baby hair was really matted and I thought I was doing a good job!!! But I live close to my breeder and I took him to her and she shaved him for me and clipped his nails etc and cleaned him up..now his hair is growing back in nicely and I make sure I comb and brush him everyday and he gets a bath every week and a half or so depending on how dirty he gets from playing...I too am scared to go to a groomer with my 2lb 9 oz baby boy ( he is 7 months) so I think I am just going to try to groom him my self and with my breeders help!!
I can get him like I want!!!
