| Your little guy is absolutely adorable and does have quite the coat! I keep my 2 boys in full coat. Max has never had a problem with poop, but Teddy required help his first 2 years. I don't think he was squatting as well, and he was always in a hurry. I very carefully trim around their backsides. Pee: keeping the underside shaved helps, the belly and inner legs. My boys are leg lifters outdoors, so after a lot of marking I usually end up giving them a body wash. They have "pee strings," a little hair left on the penis to direct urine downward that we clean daily.

| Maybe a compromise of keeping his underside short and I definitely suggest trimming the hair around his booty lol. I was cleaning Chewie so much I finally trimmed and it made a world of difference.

| Every dog is different. I tried all that Maximo does and Toto was still a mess. We also gave him washes after each bath. Still a stinky boy. We ended up giving him a shave on his body, faded to long paws, and kept his head and beard long. Still has the yorkie look when he wears a shirt but much easier to take care of. Your pup is such a cutie!!

| I usually just clipped the hair around her little bootie. I hate dinkelberrires and sence Miss Duchess sleeps in the bed with me and is allowed on all of the furniture, her butt must be kept clean at all times. |
