I haven't read this all the way through so I apologize if I repeat something. BUT your puppy is going to loose all that black hair anyway. I think it is called puppy fuzz here.
If you run into a really bad tangle a product called Cowboy Magic works really well if you massage it into the knot. You can find it in the horse section at Petco. I don't know if PetSmart still carries horse products but they used to.
Your little one is adorable and you make me want to be a new puppy mama again. LOL |
