owl Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Lovely vids Phebe do you have to do much to their coats to keep them in good condition Depends on the coat. Some are easier to cord than others, and once you have one fully corded it is relatively easy to manage. It's the time from the appearance of the 3rd coat at around 10 months until adulthood when it's difficult. If you start cording too soon the cords will split, so you have to live with a teenage dog who looks like an explosion in a rug factory just at the age when it dives into everything it finds. Polly's went into cords quite easily, and she only looks tatty because of recurring cheyletiella. Also, the coat sometimes softens with age so it doesn't stay in dreads but turns into a fuzzball. I'm trying her on homeopathic remedies as well as keeping it under control with spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) They have a tremendous sense of fun and know how to enjoy themselves but they combine that with being focused and strong-minded. They think they are the most intelligent beings on the planet. They may well be right, but it sometimes makes them hard to live with. If they didn't have a great sense of humour no one would be able to stand them. Glad you enjoyed the clips. Edited April 21, 2009 by owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
