I have to laugh Mary because if Radar wasn't allowed on the grass I don't know what he'd do LOL....and he thinks satin beds are for sissy's LOL he only sleeps in cotton beds and forget wrapping jackets LOL.
Although, it really depends on the coat and the amount of time you want to spend on a pets coat. However, Radar is the exception to the rule for the most part....he runs in and out the doggie door, plays in the grass, sleeps on the bed, sleeps wherever he wants (with my pet yorkies) but he is in coat oil, wraps and bathed once a week and wraps re-done when needed whether it be every day or once a week just depends on his activity level and the weather outside. He has coat to the floor and ear hair is almost to the ground and mustache getting there. After one more year (hopefully) of showing he'll be cut down as it's "A LOT" of work. All my pets are in puppy cuts except the show dogs. But it can be done
