Mandy, I use a towelling coat for Mazy, I put it on after I have bathed her until dry. Her coat is then lovely and flat and shiny. I don't keep it on her when going into a show, but then Mazy's coat isn't very curly. The one I have is handmade using an old bath sheet.
I keep wondering where Paignton critiques are, I haven't seen them anywhere. Would like to see Ludo's and Mazy's from there. Well done Tetra being so well behaved at Richmond. If you read the critique from Birmingham for Mazy where she showed and moved well, you'd think it was a different dog at Richmond lol!!
