We just tried to find a raincoat to help reduce the grooming when that wet stuff comes down but this one was a tad snug on Fiona. The legs were also too tight.
This is a full brother to Katsuro hanging out on his best friend, Sleeman. It looks like Murphy is still changing colours - going to more of a steel grey these days. His cut is inbetween. Not quite a puppy cut but not quite full coat. Katsuro and Murphy was the only one that didn't retain their black and white but time will tell on the others. One never knows with the Havanese as we have seen them later on in adulthood having a different colour especially when they have colours in their line - which both Risa and Wasabi's pups do.
This photo is of Benny, Katsuro's other brother cut in a puppy cut. This will give you a good idea what a short puppy cut will do. They live in Richmond Hill and are friends with the 'Eye on Fashion' crew so if you are interested in who cut him this way, we can give you the name but the Wasabi pups - well it's not time yet. Just good info if you don't want to have them in full coat.What can you do now if you are dealing with mats? Spray on conditioner, pull the mat apart and brush out and brush more often. Don't wash unless you have thoroughly got all knots out or they make the knots tighter when they get wet.
I watch TV and brush out daily but every few days should be sufficient till they start blowing their coat and then you get past that stage and it gets much better again. They only blow their coat once.
