  Yes, Joey hardly ever tangles now, but as a puppy, he too was a ball of cotton candy.  I'd put Cowboy Magic under arms, before I put him in a sweater, otherwise he'd mat. Some people use corn starch.   Fortunately, he outgrew the tangles.  You could keep him clipped short, until the adult coat grows in.  Maximo's right, silk will keep them from matting, and you might be able to find a silk t-shirt to wear under clothes.  |
