My Millie has a cotton coat. When she had her puppy fur, she was almost impossible to brush/comb. She was getting matted every hour on the hour.
I finally got tired of the tug of war everyday to comb her out, so I had her hair cut to 1/2" from her body. Well, what a difference it made. It was soft and silky!. When it grew out, it was still cottony, but I was able to comb thru her hair everyday and not find any mats and Millie tolerated the grooming so much better. It only takes a few seconds to comb her out now.
So I have to say yes, there is a differnce between the puppy fur and the adult fur. |
