I can't stand to role my hair and haven't done it for years. Don't like anything tightish up against my scalp. Can't help but think the dogs would be happier showing with natural coats.

If we kept them "natural", do you think we shouldn't do topknots either and let their hair cover their face and eyes?

I just fully wrapped London for the first time today. So far they haven't bothered her at all. As soon as we were done, she got to go out in the backyard and run through the grass. Keeping her wrapped is going to enable her to go out and play and not get so dirty or get urine on the back of her coat and probably keep her from having to be bathed as often as we have been. Keeping them in wraps really does enable them to be a regular dog, without their long hair getting in their way. London can go outside without collecting leaves and whatever else in her coat.
