I need a better camera to get a clear pic...right now I only have my lil Kodak zoom vid cam or whatever it is kids broke the HP that takes decent pics...
Well in Elvis' case...literally his hair grows up in one direction and down in the other and where the collar used to obviously be his haired literally has a bend in it at the root and then grows down...he had a pup cut when I got him...well it was more of a hack job...but I think he as always kept long before that. Maybe it was because it was on Elvis too tight...
I hear with Miniature Schnauzers they say not to use a collar for long periods...it causes the under coat to thin the wire coat to grow upward instead of flat and can cause black heads or pimples...
I couldn't say other than he came to me with this nasty well worn collar one among many other things that were indicative of sub-par care...none of my dogs wear collars ever.
I'd assume if it was loose enough maybe its not an issue but my groomer also told me she gets so irritated when people bring in long haired dogs with a collar on it irritates their hair...my groomer is a vet technician...but I didn't ask what she meant other than telling her I never have mine in collars, and can she fix Elvis' hair (when I first got him the first time I took him to her)...so we shaved it down and are trying to retrain it...

I keep Callie in a puppy cut because she very much loves to be outside and would get things many things stuck in her hair if she wasnt kept short. I have had Callie sense she was a puppy and will be 4 in may collared at all times besides baths and after I bathe her and either blow her dry or let her air dry you could never tell she had a collar on her hole life. Of course I leave Callies collar decently lose and the width is a thin as I could find. |
