Show dogs are allowed to do many of these things, but their coats are cultivated, by being bathed every 4 days, kept in wraps, only allowed to sleep on satin. |
Wow I knew they took lots of time with the wraps and bathing but had no idea about the satin. No he doesn't sleep with us so I could try the satin but I dont think there is any way he would keep the wraps on. I guess you all must start that when they are tiny. God bless you all for doing all that work, I so admire watching them in the dog shows. I dearly love my little guy long coat or not but am just hoping it will get close to floor length. Thanks for responding.
