Yes some people have to battle stains terribly. We have been lucky with Chloe in that area, stains have never been an issue with her. But she does have allergies and sensitive skin and her pink skin has sunburned on her part too. Some malts don't mat as much as others, coats can be thin or thick and even curly (which you do not want). We live in a rural area as well and I let Chloe be her snoopy self and this is usually what she looks like in the winter after coming in from outside. But she dries out and looks like her old self again. If we cut the grass and she walks through it it will stain her feet. The last pic is of my mom's 2 malts and Chloe together. Staining has been an on and off thing with the two of them.
