Sylvia, I had to cut Pippa all the way down after my accident. She too has a gorgeous coat, and guess what? It's gorgeous again! And actually I think Pippa liked it, and it sure took a ton of stress off me as I just couldn't handle it at the time.

Sylvia - I just saw this. Hope you've already done the cut down. I used to be so miserable trying to unknot Tyler's hair. Used to do two brushings a day and even with that I'd get mats and knots. I finally gave up and went for the Town and Country and we've both been happy campers since that time. It's such a relief and Tyler just seemed to romp around more freely with the shorter coat. It's about what's inside the dog that really counts.

And it will grow back.

Do what you can to save the face and tail and he will look like a darling puppy! The rest will grow back. Enjoy spending time with your babies! <<Hugs>>

I would not strip him but would have him shaved. He can wear a cute sweater to keep him warm. I have all that I can do to keep up with Rylee.
