She was getting hot and i didn't want to have to leave as Jake and Penny were having fun so hubby carried her in. She was all go after that. Maybe Kiki can come for holiday and teach them both how to swim!!!Clever puppy
It must be so nice for them to be able to get cool.

Did she like it? She'll be at it all the time now,
Ralph went in last week, he was copying a working cocker after a stick....
But he has a very full coat at the moment (with a few matts that have suddenly appeared
) so it did seem to weigh him down a little, but he was doing the doggy paddle haha

Is jake happy about it?? Are you??? I really don't want to do that - especially before we have some photos done that we have booked, does it grow back the same? Ralph has had a scissor trim, but is quite long now with a corkscrew curl about 3 inches which I love.I know all about those matts. Had to almost shave Jake down yesterday due to them
I saw how unhappy you were about willows fringe, I'd be the same! X

Jake gets hot easy and he always seems happy cut short. I really want to grow him out, but I just don't seem to be able to. I have tried all kinds of shampoos, detanglers, combs and brushes. It never matters. Once he reaches a certain length, it just matts up. He gets tiny little matts right at the skin.
It does always grow back the same though. My groomer says he has poodle curl and cocker thickness. His mom was a cockapoo bred back to a cocker.
I pray Willows coat will be better and I can keep growing it out. (her mom and dad were both F2s)
Although I do love him short too. He is so soft and he has such nice coloring. It really shows when he is short.

I was crying laughing today as I ended up blaming my OH for his matts!!! I told him to stop stroking Ralph, cause you stroke him all wrong and make his fur matt!!!!
My poor OH said I can't do anything right!!! Bloody matts!!
Willow may be different......?

I did the same type thing
Hubby had given me a hard time last week saying I am "at Jake too much" so when this happened I said it is your fault. You made me feel bad combing him every night so I missed a few!!! To funny. Like fighting over kids.I do think Willow's coat may be different. She has much less cocker in her, but JoJo would probably know way more about it than I do. Jake's puppy coat was a breeze. It was soft and wavy, although it was thicker than Willows.

I think it's Ralph's adult coat
It's all around where his collar lies, under his ears and a bit in his sides, i keep having a go with a matt breaker - but I really don't want him short - it may not be my choice!?

Once Jake hit ten months, I just couldn't do it to him or me. His were also around the neck, behind the ears, under the chin. Yesterday he even had one on his boy bits. I didn't even think that was possible
This latest matt explosion happened because I got to thinking I could grow him again. Also because he has allergies so he scratches a lot, which also causes matts. I hope you get to keep growing Ralph out. He is so very cute.

I'm not sure Donna - I will try & might call the dog groomer in, but I think even if I fixit his time it will go again - especially if my OH keeps stroking him incorrectly haha, I've warned him he's not allowed to stroke rubyYou should message Dawn. She has been able to keep Dudley's coat.
