Hiya Folks,
there was a post on this a while back, but I fear it may have been lost when the gremlins got into the COL server
I have been hand stripping out Millie's coat for a while now, and have pretty much gotten her smooth and silky across her back and head - her ears still need some seeing too, as do her butt and legs, but I am curently too chicken to do those bits
My question is this - a lot of the fur in Millie's "flares" is going a chestnutty brown colour, instead of being black. I seem to remember reading somewhere that this could be due to too much sun exposure (she does like to sit in the sun) or just becuase the hair is drying out because it is dead, or dying??
What can I do to keep her black, or to stop her coat drying out? I do brush her with a soft bristle brush for 10 minutes usually every other day and definately after a big grooming session of bath, to try and keep the natural juices folowing, so to speak
And is there anything that I couldn't use because I show her?
Thanks Guys and Girls
Kel
