stringy looking coat

[Yorkieluv]

Aww! Thanks I will look into the flaxseed meal, good idea!
We also bought Bo Derek's Bless the Beasts, and it works pretty good, but I definitely like Coat Handler better. Haven't tried CC shampoos and conditioners...
We use the smallest CC Gold Series Pin Brush which works great on Miko, but Emma (my maltese) is so tiny that the brush is almost as big as she is! LOL We've been wanting to order one of the buttercombs, but we weren't sure which one to get...There are sooo many options, it's hard to make a decision. Which buttercomb(s) do you use?
I'm sorry Bobbi's been having an upset tummy!! I know it stinks when they go through these things...Let me know how the Seameal works because I would love to get Emma on some sort of supplement, and I've been going back and forth between the Missing Link and the Seameal...

As soon as she finished her Champion Title she got a very short hair cut. She is very happy now.....So am I....

Wow! I was just checking through the forum and noticed I never answered you! This must have gotten pushed way out!

Yes, Lillie has a very soft coat and is a little thicker than Sadies. I have noticed that the hair on the top of Sadies head has really broken. I believe it's because she isn't real fond of having bows in her hair. As soon as I put one in she is on the couch or bed rubbing her head to get it out! The little bugger!! I ended up having to cut the top of her head (hair). I have also noticed that her mustache has alot of broken hair which is causing the hair around her nose to stick up into her eyes...I am CONSTANTLY pushing the hair down. I think this is because Lillie pulls at Sadies face hair when they play. I want to cut the hair around the top of her nose to keep the hair out of her eyes but, if I do that it will never grow back out...What are your suggestions.
And again...I apologize for not responding to you sooner.

Percy looks amazing right after he is bathed. But usually after a few days, even though he is combed, it looks unkept and stringy.

Here are some right out of the bath, and no bath for a week.

Oh my goodness...

You described my Truffles!!

I've gotta tell ya, Truffles looks EXACTLY like Percy also.

This is also my first post. I've been reading around about everything for Truffles. After looking at Percy's dogster, I found out that Percy and Truffles are around the same age also.

I love the way Truffles looks after a bath, but after a couple days....it just turns...stringy! The top of his head is perfect though.

Coat: Feels like satin, always cool to the touch, doesn't matt, is thin, has natural shine. Can't use any oil based finishing products or he will end up looking greasy and unkept looking.

This is my Tiffanie and Sir. Galahad, altho Sir. Galahad has cotton legs...He is 13 months now and has his mom's and dad's coat both. I trimmed him down to see if it would come back cotton like dad but his back is silk and get greasy if I put conditioner on it so does mom. U said it perfect!!! Hugs, Lee & Babies.

See this is Teddy NOW, Not to start with!! He has a cotton coat 100%, have to use conditioner on him EVERY bath no getting out of it, then it still @ his butt looks dry, head and shoulder beautiful silky...I think it's the growing process. To where Tiffanie is silky shiney all the time.

That is very similar to my Winston too, the further down his back...the fluffier it gets. But he's 3 years old now, so I doubt if it'll change, he actually looks better a few days after grooming...it will lay down a little smoother. Oh well I just love my little fuzz butt.
If I knew how to post pictures I would, so far I've only been able to get a picture on the avatar, but it doesn't show his hinney too well.
