t just depends on how quickly and how badly she matts. Chachi has the kind of coat that every day you would have to take out matts so I keep him short. Jewels coat you can let grow out a little and not deal with matts daily but I just learned to love the look and simplicity of the short cuts and keep her short also. I like the longer hair but unless its freshly groomed I think it looks kinda messy. I like a nice groomed look and my groomer leaves some length to the face so I do have a yorkie look also just not on the body

Great tips!!! A short back with longer face may be our best bet. As her adult coat is coming in it's just becoming more difficult to keep the mats at bay. She will be beautiful either way, I just pictured her with long flowing hair

Milksheen shampoo? Is this for humans? What is the full name?

I think this is the same conditioner I use on Josie. (Breeder told me it was best)

Josie has the cotton coat and it looks stingly after a few days from the groomer. I do brush her ever day but by end of day she has the stringie look again.

It is Minksheen and it is a dog shampoo that you can buy online. It has a cologne type of smell that people either love or hate. It has citronella in it that fights against fleas or mosquitos. It works really good but I still like to add a conditioner for added softness.

Cotton coats are super fluffy, usually not shiny. Pita's coat dries curly as well. Silkies are super fine coats that lay flat and are usually shiny. Anyone care to ellaborate, I'm no expert! lol.

Hate to ask stupid questions but, when do you know what kind of coat they will have? Annie is almost 23 weeks and her hair is so fine. It kind of blows in the wind. If I were to describe the texture, everyone says it feels like a feather. It grows real slowly too. I love her either way just funny how much they change. Thanks for all the advice.

She has a silk coat which is the desired coat. They are slower to grow but be patient she will have a gorgeous shiny coat

That is neat!! Love her either way. She just makes my day. I am very lucky we take her to work with us all the time. She is our security dog. Giggle. She fits in just perfectly here.
