| Why is Jade's hair matting up all the time? It seems like once a week I have to get mats out. They are close to her skin and they usually come right out. She is 5 months old and Tobey is 17 months old and I never had this problem with Tobey. I got Tobey when he was 6 months old and Jade at 3 months. Does anyone know why she could be matting up? Does it matter the type of coat? I can't tell what type of coat she has but it is softer than Tobey's. Tobey seems to have long, straight coat and she seems to have a softer, cottony type coat. Here is a few pics to see if anyone out there can tell by pics what kind of coat they have. Jade has the bow and she is 5 months. Tobey is 17 months. Thanks guys!

| I'm no expert on coat types but I do know that sometimes brushing doesn't get all the way down to the skin. You can try using a metal comb to get down to the skin and that should keep the mats from forming. |
