| Arghh this matting puppy hair is getting on my last nerve!!! I just wanted to say that having Sophie's puppy fur mat after wearing a shirt or dress for 5 minutes or having a hairbow in for a second is SOOO frustrating!!! I think I brush her hair 10 times a day!!!!!!! I can't wait for her to get her adult coat... Ok...venting over... |

| If you comb them with conditioner in their hair while they are in the bath then this helps a lot with the mats!

| Make sure you comb or brush the hair right before you put clothes on and right after you take them off

| I usually get my pup's hair cut if and when the mats occur...you'd be pleasantly surprised what the new growth is like!!

But Brooklyn of course has the adult coat now...and it's cottony and super soft...but still not fun to brush through. I love the look and feel of the cotton...but it's sooo much harder to deal with than Maddie and Mikayla's hair (they both have the silky). Of course...Maddie isn't double-coated...so that makes a difference too... | |

| I have the same problem with mickey and bella. they are both nearly 7mth and although their coats are mostly black colour they have grey thick wool like fur underneath that gets matted something awful. i was beginning to wonder if they were half sheep |

| I'm having the same problem with Malachi at the moment, his adult coat is starting to come through and its matting with the puppy one, very frustrating. I just keep spraying and combing spraying and combing lol. |

| Gypsy's coat drives me MAD! If it's not matting then it's shedding all over the place! I daren't clip her though! Oh, well, it can't take that much longer for it to come out, she has some lovely adult coat underneath which NEVER gets matted!
