how on earth do you get their faces clean?

No worries. That is just his natural color. He'll continue to change color for a while. When I got Mandie, her whole head on top and sides was grey. Now she has one very light streak up the middle of her forehead and a little on her ears left. I've read around here that they change colors for up to 2 or more years.

Thanks. I love coming to YT, but I think it feeds my neurosis. I just gave Barney's face a hearty scrubbing for good measure. I am glad this topic came up though. I had never really thought about their whole faces staining. Oh dear!!!! It's also nice to know that his color will still change. Right now he looks a little washed out. Anna is 6 and has a golden face and dark colored body....the color I wish my hair was. Barney is all gray...the color I most likely am.

When I brush Shiba every day, I take water with my fingers and clean under and around her eyes. Then I take a fine tooth comb and comb out the hair there too. If I do this daily her face always looks pretty good and then the hair around her eyes doesn't get itchy and all gunked up. Every 5 weeks or so when I take her to the groomer they wash her face and trim the hair around her eyes and nose for me.
