Right now he is only aBout 24 weeks,
He matts a lot it is like the new platinum White hair strangles the older coat, we comb every day but concentrate on shoulders, neck and face, his muzzle drives him mad with itch when he drinks, his back and underarms front he scratches til he bleeds ( if he gets even a second of freedom from clothes) he bites his front paws and hind quarters like a cartoon character eating corn, again as soon as his skin is free of cover.
I think the clothes make him matt more than he would naked, but the matts are better than the bleeding slices he cuts into himself without clothes.
He is such a good, gorgeous, loving boy, generally happy and only unhappy because we make him wear clothes and stop him scratching and eating himself. He knows he isn't supposed to so sometimes hides on the stairs to try to scratch and gnaw.
He can be ok for a few hours, but ten seconds of unsupervised nakedness can leave him bleeding and raw and we just have to manage that for right now.
Anyway you asked about his brush? He has several, but we only use his metal comb as this is what getsmhis matts out.
