I was keeping it tied up with a scrunchie and it was doing okay but then suddenly I notice his topknot was getting thinner and thinner. I had made the mistake of letting him play with some younger pups and I think they were grabbing his topknot. Anyway the damage is done. When I was at the Houston Specialty I talked to several show breeders that said they never keep the topknot tied up. One said she had been using Shaws Royal Coatalin but you can't buy that anymore but I still had some so that is what I am using now. Someone else said to use Vellus Satin Cream. I have always kept a scrunchie in Yogi's topknot and his is really long now. It is hard to know what to do. Some dogs are just harder on their coats I guess.
