It sticks up and just doesn't lay flat, which makes them look fat (even if it's all hair.  ) It took me longer to brush out, which eventually got on Kaji's nerves and he would walk away when I was only 1/4 of the way through. It takes forever to dry with the blow dryer because there is so much hair, and I won't let him run off half dry and half tangled. You should see him squirm when he is getting dried off. That caused matts since his hair was wet and heavy and he wouldn't let me finish brushing him off. He was just plain unhappy. I gave in, cut off the body hair, and now I have a happy camper. |
My Fido looks much fatter when he's shaved
He actually looks thinner with coat, weird!
I think having Fido with some coat will be good for him too, not just for me
cause always when he goes to the groomers and is shaved there he looks like a moroon, he hides under the sofa, doesnt wanna go out, he gets much colder then and he does not like his clothes much.
He doesnt get as cold if he has some coat, well he gets tangled sometimes, Im longer brushing him (maybe 10-15 min. a day if he's not tangled, i just comb his face and tail if he's shaved , that takes a minute or something) but what the hell im ready to do that if thats what it takes to keep him with beautiful long coat
Im not longer blowdrying him, he's so quick drying, maybe 10 minutes also ,very very quick!
Well when I bathe him im like 2 hours if he's with longer coat, but if he's shaved im 30-50 minutes tops, but I like bathing him so it doesnt matter, I have enough time to groom him as much as he needs
Fido matts also very much if he just has few inches of coat, but when its about half the way to the ground it matts very little.
