I like the long coat. Rio's almost 11 months and I've never cut her hair, just trim the paws and ears. But as everyone has said, it's a lot of work. I brush her out every day and sometimes on the weekend, she gets brushed twice - morning and evening. I also have to re-do the top knot about every other day. Her long beard drags in her food and water, so I have to wipe her face with a damp washcloth every night. Oh the things we do for our furbabies' beauty! |
