Hi Joanne here mother to 16 month old Tucker, he's black and tan, a very handsome boy, with very thick and also very fine hair that tends to mat very easily. I comb and brush Tucker a minimum of twice a week and often as much as 4 times, and still he gets mats. I try to work them out, but often I have to cut them out. I do not plan to show Tucker, I'm sort of considering having his hair trimmed. Though I am loathe to do it, because I love how he looks with his full, shiny, black coat. Still, I feel so sorry for him when I'm working on mats, trying to save the hair, and also trying to remove it. Right now he's got one in his tail, I'm saving for the groomer tomorrow. I'm afraid if I try to remove it, he'll lose more hair than necessary to remove the clump. What are your thoughts on trimming anywhere on cavs? I think I read somewhere that their hair does not grow back very quickly. Would appreciate your comments. Are there any products to get the snarls/mats out of their hair? Also, where do you folks buy those adorable harnesses that are very wide in the front, would love to get Tucker one. Thanks.
