- You should bathe him 1 a week, but if he's still with his puppycoat then about every 2 weeks.
- I use Pet Silk Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, I like it the best and I've tried very much.
- Buy a comb for him and brush & comb him after bath, dont brush a dirty coat !! it ruins the coat if you brush when its dirty, also buy a pinbrush and a brush (made for humans) with real pighairs.

When you bathe him, use shampoo 2 and conditioner 1, dont wash out all the conditioner I leave it in and squeeze the coat so the most wet goes out, I leave it in cause it helps with matting.
Then you blowdry him completily dry, brush him with the pighair brush while you blowdry him, it would be good to have another person holding him while you blowdry cause they often try to run away or dont wanna stand still.
Then you use a Pinbrush next, with it you get all those small tangles out, when you are done brushing the dog with that brush then you take the comb (I prefer steel comb) and comb him all over so he will have abseloutely no matts !
If some matts are hard you can cut them out but try first as you can to comb it out, I have a comb with rotating pins that works magic with the matts ! its a MUST to have a comb it rotating pins.
Then you brush him about every other day I hope I helped something.
