My goal was to have a dog who's coat looked like velvet. The same way GV. Ch.
Inflights Spencer v Sandyhill's coat looked when I saw him shown in LA before
he became GV. When I campaigned River, he wasn't shown every weekend, so he
wasn't bathed when he did not show. I combed through his coat with a dilute
solution of Naked Care and water or Seabreeze Oil (from Plush Puppy) and water
at least once a week. Made sure there were no external or internal parasites,
especially tape worms. Tapes can make a coat brittle to the touch. He looked
best when fed kibble mixed with FarMore raw and I also gave him 3V caps for the
omega 3's and 6's. I also declared war on the Queen Ann's lace that grows in my
yard. The seeds stick to the coat and you lose hair when you try to get the
seeds out.
River lived in the all indoor kennel run when I was at work. Stayed in the
house at night and was road worked 3 times a week.
