Okay, so maybe he's not completely self-grooming, but I'm wondering how many of you have one of these dogs in your house..
1. When he rolls around in dirt/leaves/grass etc., he gives a great big shake and nothing sticks. I mean it, nothing! He's clean as a whistle!
2. I can bathe him once every other month, and he smells good and looks good the entire time! Honest!!!
3. If he eats something messy, he's clean.
4. If he goes out in the rain, he sheds water and is DRY within minutes of returning to the house.
5. Snow??? Snow doesn't stick to this guy!
In comparison, my yorkie (anyone who knows me knows how much time I spend combing her)
1. Doesn't even need to roll in dirt/grass/leaves/twigs/acorns/mulch/bugs etc. Manages to attract them like magnets, while just skipping over the earth.
And, they embed deeply into her hair.
2. It's everything I can do to wait a whole week between baths! She's such a mess by day three!
3. If she looks at something messy she needs wiped off. Eats it??? How many days til her bath????? lol
4. I never knew there was so much
mud in rain.
5. And our snow experience last year??? "Where did all these tiny snowballs come from that are stuck all over her????? Oh my gosh I'll have to put her in a tub of warm water to get them off!!!!"
LOL, I knew yorkies were high maintenance, but I'm truly amazed by the different grooming needs of my two dogs!!!!
Just thought I'd share.
Anyone else have a self-grooming dog???
