smileyzookie Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Rivens hair is the most unruly hair ever. Not only does she constantly shed, but even after I brush her, it looks like she has a major case of bedhead. It looks like I dont take care of her coat lol. Any ideas, on particularly the tail hair and ear hair is appreciated. Or is it just normal for it to be unruly? This is after brushing!! Look at her ear hair already flipping up into the unknown lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Do you use a slicker brush? Or a rake? Works for me. Behind the ears and the tail & feather area are kind of hard- most dogs hate that "back-end" area. But a good stand-stay and some arguing will help.

smileyzookie Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Bo Peep! You're from Boise? I didnt even realize that...lol Im only 40 minutes from you...anyway.. I use a rake, and a comb that looks a bit like a flea comb. It gets a lot of undercoat off. We use that comb on the cat too for his hair balls.

WyoBC Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Black Jack's hair behind his collar and his "buttle" LOL, likes to flip up sometimes too (to the unknown) I just use a slicker brush. But mainly I use a pin brush everyday. I love the pin brush I have, it really works good. You probably already use it but that's all the help I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Jackson's hair used to lie down so nice. Then when he was about 5mos old I gave him a bath. And when he was dry, his hair on his back was just going every which way! I thought well, it's because I didn't brush him as he dried. Nope. Been that way ever since! I tell him he's part guinea pig!

prosperia Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Didnt Riven get a haircut this summer? I think I remember somthing like that anyway, and if that was the case, their hair does tend to grow back funny somtimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyzookie Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes she did. The groomer butchered her hair all off in June. Its SO long now lol. Gosh, I really hope that this is a phase if thats the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie_Dog Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Jake is the king of unruliness. Even if I brush him, he looks a little "messy," and if I allow him to walk (in other words, live), then in 5 minutes he looks the same as he did before I brushed him. Darn hair! He has straight fur along his sides, but his back is curly, his chest and throat is sort of in between (wavy, I guess, in a nice curvy way), and his tail is frizzy and thick. Not a good combination at all, lol I use a slicker brush mostly, with any other brush I can get my hands on, lol (usually a comb or pin-brush type) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
