The brown stains, I can deal w/ --- its the red stains on the lighter colored dogs that I have issues w/. Is there anything special you use on her eye area?

Missing Link has worked wonders on Mojo's coat. We also use various shampoos that seems to help too. (Kind of like hair, I have to switch up my shampoos often).
Have you tried BioSilk too? There was a thread awhile back that said that was good - the person called the company and all. I have used it on and off on Mojo, because I know I love using it on my hair.
And someone said something about coconut oil too - I bought some at our local health food store - I bought it to cook w/ it then used it on my hair and skin - it says you can!

When/if we get one, she would be shaved too in the winter. We have two fireplaces and the central heat....PLUS, I love clothes and she would never be cold. Some people think that all dogs should keep a thick coat in the winter, but that isn't the case w/ us. I am glad to know that you do the same.

Thanks for thinking of us and looking....we have had such a hard time. We thought we found a good place, but the one we wanted had a heart murmer (I think I told you that) and then she had another one, but again, there was something wrong - so the red flags went up there.

Some places...well...we just knew that they were not good. I think there might be a rescue somewhere, but I haven't really thought much into that...I have been telling myself to get a PERFECT one for Katelyn....not that there is anything wrong w/ rescues - we have had many, and we have two rescued big dogs now - just, I want Katelyn to "raise" this one and grow up w/ her and have a healthy one. I'm a being selfish? Sometimes, when I think about it, I feel guilty, but the good Lord knows I have given my heart to those in need so many times and more than likely will continue to do so, but just not w/ this one.

Absolutely! I totally understand. I too, prefer raising them from babies. My cat and 2 dogs plus the hamster get along like true brothers and sisters. I truly enjoy raising them from babies and the socialization part....
I am so blessed that all my pets have a wonderful personality. No barkers, no aggressive behavior, nothing I can complain about

As far as her eyes go..........I don't use anything special to clean them. Every single morning I use a little plastic comb to get the 'boogers' out and also before they go to bed. I never give them the opportunity to get in bad shape.........I have NEVER used the wipes or liquid they sell because I feel it might be too harsh.

I have never used Biosilk..........I need to look into it. I only use petsilk midnight black for her and conditioner. Also, the tropiclean papaya plus.
