thanks, Lee, I think I know what you mean. I used something like that when I had long hair, ages ago...
I could see on one pic how you do it, you just need 4 scrunchies for the body hair? And they stay in? Do you wrap them up over the back so they don't hang on the floor? How long are their coats?
Something else: what do you do when they are in oil? You can't touch the dogs, do you keep them in a crate for how long before you wash it out?
Sounds all like a lot of work but I would be more bothered about the dog's quality of life and freedom. Do you let them run free in the garden like other dogs or do you keep the scrunchies in, is it not easier to gently roll the coat into a loose fitting suit for going out and playing. Also for males so they can't soil their hair on their legs when they mark all the trees etc.?
Sorry for all the stupid questions, but I would like to do it right once I have my boy and find the best solution for him and me.
Did I see somewhere that you can tell the coat colour and texture from the shine in a pup's eyes? Like if they shine green in the light the coat will be silky, if they shine blue it will be thick... or vice versa??? Of course, all their eyes are really brown!

thanks again for al your help. Sorry, the pics are not too clear to see how exactly you put in the scrunchies.(Cute name, by the way!
And your dogs are very cute, too!
