| I'm so envious of alot of you!!! I WISH tucker loved the blow dryer! hahaha as soon as he see's it and his shampoo bottle, he tries to scramble away. I towel dry him first, until he's a little damp,and then i blow dry him. Also to prevent his coat from getting damaged and dried out fom the blow dryer, i dilute a mild leave in conditioner and leave it on his hair( in between bathes)and rinse it out after about a day or so. I do this every other week, and it makes his hair very soft, shiny and easy to comb.

I haven't blown dry my hair in a good 10- 12 years and I've never have Mollie's. I have Wyatt once it was only because I have to bathe the puppies because they made a mess in the crate.

| It takes forever to dry Chloe, with a blow dryer, because of her cottony hair and I have to keep it on low. During the summer I have cut short both dogs' hairdrying time and let them run around the house. They love it. However, I am concerned about the colder weather and I live in Fl. But, I'm willing to try again if I could get as nice a look as yours. |

| Lexy looks adorable. So shiny and soft. I don't blow dry Gucci's hair either. She gets so nervous. She dries pretty fast running all over the apt. I do hold her and dry her with a towel. But I tell you she prefers to run around like a wild woman. |

| Funny you mention this cause when I bathed my four two days ago, I let them all air dry too, instead of using the dryer like I've always done and I can tell a HUGE difference too!!! PLUS, it's a LOT less work!!!! BTW, Lexi looks pretty

Which one did you buy? I have the Super Duck and it is not so super. It takes forever. I prefer a no heat element dryer, too, just can't decide which one to buy. Thanks, Sheila | |

| Hmmm.. I may try this with Tay! I know the 2 times I've gave her a bath I've blown-dryied her, so I may not do it this Sunday to see how she does. Of course, she's still a baby, so we will see..hehe

I also have a cotton coat and you are right-even with a blow dryer it takes forever for it to dry. Without the blow dryer I would hate to think how long that would take. Plus it doesn't help that she shivers (even with our San Diego weather) and likes to curl up under the dryer. I use warm towels after her bath and always have ( even with my sons when they were little )but maybe during the summer I will give it try.

| My breeder told me to towel dry Muffin to get off excess water and then blow dry her hair until it's "damp dry" which takes no time at all. She said never blow dry her hair completely as it will really dry out her coat. I've only bathed her 3 times since I got her but I think I'll try letting her air dry once and see what happens. It is getting cooler here in the Chicago area but I'll try the warmed up towel trick and see what happens. |
