Hmm. I don't think Mei Mei has the 'silky' coat.
I now have to brush her leg hair once or twice a day to keep it from matting. Yesterday it took me about 1 hour to get the tangles out. She was brushed the day before.
This is extremely frusterating. I don't have time to spend hours each day dematting her. I do have the time to give her a good brushing daily.
According to the breeder, she is going to be the black and gold coat, not the silver/bluish color. And I think I did read somewhere that the black and gold is a little harder to maintain because it is not as soft and silky. Has anyone heard of that?
