Bramble has got a really flat coat, apart from which he looks like a Brahma chicken as he has got such feathery legs (and knickers). We had him castrated 4/5 weeks ago, so wonder whether his coat will get thicker, but he is as sleek as a seal at 14 months. Barley looked like an Afghan hound at 6 months and needs clipping regularly, but all we have used on Bramble has been the thinning scissors, the good old Spratts, the Slicker and the normal wide-tooth comb, plus occasionally the whatsit that cuts through tats. Is this an indication of more sort of working spaniel strain in that he is so sleek? Will his knickers eventually drag on the floor if I don't do something about them? Should I take photos???
