Tink's back half is that way. (She has a poodle parent and a yorkie parent) I use Cowboy Magic on her and it works like a charm. It takes a little bit of time after her bath to work it in to her dry hair with my fingers and then I comb through it. But it really helps alot. No more mats, and it doesn't get the tight curls in it that you can't comb through. It stays nice and soft and I can comb it every day.
