Max & Maggie's Mom, be patient with the little girl!
At 14 weeks she is still young ... Toto's ears didn't pop up until she was about 16 weeks and her hair didn't begin to look like hair until much, much later!! Now is the perfect time to get her used to daily brushing and grooming! I brushed Toto when she didn't have enough hair to "say grace over" and even though it didn't ever look brushed, it gave us great bonding time and now she likes to be brushed and will roll over to have her tummy brushed!! The only problem I have is with Toto's topknot ... the hair on top of her little head is sooo thin! The groomer we used to use sold us a "de-matting" tool to cut the bad mats up where they could be brushed out but when I realized what that thing does to the coat, I don't use it!!
I patiently work with the bad mats until I get them out and although a little hair comes out, it's still not as bad as that tool!!
Ranger's Mom, I think Ranger is an adorable little boy. I actually miss Toto's puppy hair! It seemed like one day she was a shaggy little baby and the next day she had long hair and we were wondering where our baby went!!
They mature all too soon!!!
