I got thinking of this with Schen. I am seeing if I (and he) can handle living in nearly full coat.
After years of JRTs and a couple of LHW I am not used to grooming. JRTs don't get knots and they are scotch guard'd at birth lol. They can be covered in disgusting stuff and as soon as they dry off they are white again. Whippets didn't need much brushing but a little more frequent bathing as their soft coats could hold dirt.
Well nothing compared to Schen. His coat is super super soft. It holds dirt and smells like crazy. He is brushed most days and bathed 1-2 times a week and thoroughly combed after bathing. Its not as bad as I thought.
How much time do you spend grooming your dogs?
