| Hair Breakage One of my girls hair is starting to break off, It's not like to the skin, just breaks off. Has anyone else had this problem? I use Biogroom shampoo and conditioner, I am puzzled any ideas of what could be causing this?

| Is it breaking off all over or just at certain spot? Uni pulls out her clips sometimes and causes her bangs to break off, so now she has some in the clip and some hanging down in front. Does your baby have the fine silky coat? Uni's is like that and it is pretty fragile. I just ordered her some minksheen that another YT member suggested to me, it's supposed to be the best stuff. sorry I couldn't help more.

| The breakage is mostly on her back and sides. None on her head. I am so puzzled about this. It's not to the skin, it just breaks off about an inch from the skin. It's long on her legs, head and ears. It can't be the harness, she only wears it outside on walks. We have a fenced in yard so they only have on their collars most of the time. And it's only her with the problem. The other 2 are fine.

| Do you brush her dry?? Or use a detangler or some type of mist on her before brushing? I've read before that if they have a fragile coat, brushing it dry can cause breakage. Maybe her hair is more fragile than the others?

| My Lady Coco, she is 4 months old now, has the same problem, her legs have very few hair compared than before. I was told that maybe some food allergy is probably causing the problem. But I'm trying to find out the best food before making the change. Does anybody agree on this? |
