Tips for Bath time

[Pam & Trixie]

Trixie has not had a bath since last Fall :o

 

Her hair is much longer now.  She sheds alot...So I dont have to deal with many matts very often. 

It is hard to keep her long hair Brushed out though.  My arms are not that strong for a long brushing : )

 

 

I know I need to brush her out good before her bath.

 

Are there other tips for Bathing Long haired Dogs.  I have never had a dog with this long of hair.

What about after the bath?

 

Trixies hair is a little strange...She has curls around her Hind Legs/butt.  Then some Kinky hair in front/chest area...her back is pretty Frizzy.

 

Will air drying & not combing her out after her bath be best?

Am I asking for Snarls if she isnt combed after?

Heres 2 Pictures of her today (we have had her One Year Today!)

Do you do anything special to keep the beard hair so sparkling white?  I've never seen a light color doodle with such a beautiful clean beard.

[Pam & Trixie]

Thank you Jennie.

I dont do anything to her beard.  Maybe its the food she eats (only Dry Fromm Kibble)  And Fromm Treats.

So it took Trixie about 5 hrs to air dry.  Not too bad.

Here are 2 Pictures, One in her Excitement after her bath- She must have made house laps for 30 minutes.  And then after she was almost dry, sitting Pretty.
