That would be matty. It is like lots of tangles. You don't have to shave her, you could carefully brush the mats out like you would in your own hair. Sorta start towards the ends and brush all the way back to the skin. especially around their hips and ears they will get lots of mats. I shaved mine off as we have a pool and a huge yard, I want them to tan a little before it gets to hot, and after they get out of the pool and roll in the grass and dirt, forget trying to keep that mess. I leave the hair on their head and legs and tail long, I think they look cute that way--not so much the naked look, but their hair is so soft like that, not at all like a burr on a boy. I use puppy shampoo with conditioner, or my own shampoo (neutrogena) and conditioner when I am out. They also make this puppy spray conditioner that smells like baby powder, I like to spray them with that too, for brushing between baths. |
