 Great thread!
I'm glad you asked this, and the answers here have really made sense to me. Ginger's coat never mats (even when it was long, currently it's short do to a recent severe bout with allergies), but is really thin, almost stringy. On bath day she can look very silky (when her coat was long), but quickly turns into a stringy mess. Her hair tends to look a little oily after a few days too.
Bernie (who's coat is currently short due to surgery) seems to have a silky coat too, BUT it's much thicker than Gingers. I can't wait until his hair grows out a bit so that I can see what it's like. He sheds water easily and has a bit of wave on the top of his head. His beard etc, still look nearly perfect a week after a bath! |
