Awww she looks so cute!
I had to do the same thing with Maddie. Her hair didn't lay flat like Wesley's it just grew out away from her body. She was a little round fluff too. She would get matts down to her skin. I tried and tried to pick out the matts, but there were too many and they kept coming back.
So we had her shaved. I was shocked when I first saw her. After that, I would get her shaved about ever 8-10 weeks. Now she is 17 months and her hair is completely different. It lays flatter now. She hasn't had a cut for over 10 weeks and she doesn't have any matts right now. Her next grooming appt. is going to just be a bath. I'm going to try growing her hair out again. Hopefully it works....
Here is a picture of her soon after her first shave.... |
