Jeannie is becoming a butterball. Nathan thinks Spice is larger but I think Jeannie is. Jeannie's body isn't as long as Spices. So we will see how it all unfolds.

What a gorgeous girl! I have a tri color and they are so beautiful. Love her sheen. What conditioner do you use, if I may ask? My puppy is rather dull coated this winter.

The hair is inside and out. What that means is the quality of the food matters. My old lady Risa has shiny hair without any product. I just washed her today and should take a photo of her. Then add in supplements. We use Missing Link, vitamin E, salmon oil and for show dogs we use a product to boost hair growth. Jeannie's hair was in poor quality as her pups chewed on it. Her hair is coming back. If you tell me the texture of her hair I can tell you what I would use on it. Grooming spray matters too. Shoshi who has a cottony coat demands different shampoo and conditioner than say Jeannie. On Risa today I used Nature's Specialties Colloidal shampoo and Rinse and I used OMG grooming spray lightly on the brush to reduce flyaways. If I need to boost whites I use something else or bring highlights out I would use something else. If the hair is oily Nature's Specialties reduces the oil. I may start with a clarifier if its too oily. If it is dry I may use the Nature's Specialties shampoo but the rinse is too light and the cuticle needs to be coated so I would use a deeper conditioner. Puppies all get the same as their hair has not been exposed to the elements, dryers etc like the adult coats have been. More than you want to know, eh?
