My dog starts to get matted at the roots and I have to pull it apart just like you would a dreadlock, I'm curious to know if I were to let these matted little pieces keep going and twist them up and keep them well maintained and all of relatively the same size why would it be so bad for the dog?? And I scratch my head and it doesn't hurt me it doesn't hurt to scratch dreadlocks all dogs are going to scratch even the ones that have dreads, and the dogs that you're talking about that grow dreads naturally if you want them to look nice you have to take care of them and keep them well maintained also. If anyone could answer my question I am just curious to know why it would be so bad to dread a Yorkie if they don't have silky straight hair they have thicker hair that tends to Matt at the roots and if you kept the dreads well maintained would it hurt the dog in anyway..? |
I no nothing about having dreads BUT do know about matting. When an animal matts the matts get tighter at the skin & can & will pull the skin away from the body if not taken care of & is why matts are not good. I'm not sure how you would keep that from happening on a yorkie if you tried to let them grow dreads ? Theres probably a trick to dreads that I'm not aware of. Honestly, I think dreads look cool on some people but not a fan of the look on a dog. On dogs they just look very uncomfortable to me but on people it doesn't give me that feeling
