I think you're calling felt what we call mats, tangles that kind of build up. I keep two of my girls long and if they get a tangle, behind their ears usually, I will brush it a little and then clip out the extra so as not to hurt them too much. Some types of coats tangle a lot; I kept the whole litter from my momma dog--two of the 4 have furry coats and to have slick coats. A furry/curly coat is much harder to keep and it's better to keep clipped in the puppy cut; a slick cut is naturally easier to keep long. |
