Nancy1999 gave me the best tip when Lexi was a few months old. I brushed her diligently twice a day, but her legs were so difficult. Nancy suggested that I condition her legs in between shampooing. No shampoo, just conditioner. It was winter and she didn't go outside so she wasn't dirty. I actually conditioned her whole body with a rich moisturizing conditioner and left it on for about 10 minutes then rinsed well. It honestly was a like a miracle. That one time seemed to change the texture of her coat, especially her legs. I did that several times until her puppy coat grew out. She never matted again after her first conditioning treatment!
I hope this, along with daily brushing/combing will help Mia's coat become more manageable.
