Very light greys vs. darker greys
a notable difference between grooming the OES who are much lighter grey vs. those like mine who are much darker grey?? I have NO experience with the lighter aside from grooming at Mandy's, but I have been wondering about this for some time. I have always felt it is much easier for me to groom and keep mat and tangle free in the white and much lighter areas. Our greys here tend to mat and tangle 10 times more easily. I was just now looking at one of our members' dogs who happens to have very light greys and I was wondering. I guess you'd have to have had experience with both to answer me? Thanks in advance Shellie |

| I'd be very interested in this as well Schubert is only 6 mo and already has very light gray hair. I remember reading somewhere that light gray coat that is coming out now is not his full adult coat, and that a darker more gray adult coat will eventually grow out. I'm probably the only person that likes the gray coat better than the black puppy coat.  |
| Georgi gray has turned into a very light grey almost white. As she is a brinkley she won't have a over dark coat and as far as I can gather not as course but I might be wrong. If you look at her pics you can see the coat change. She is so good when you groom her but when you dry her feet. it so funny she moves them around like she is dancing |
| Simon went from a black puppy coat, to a VERY light silver, to a darker grey as the final result. |
| Some people find the white hair easier to groom, others the grey. As far as color of grey, I haven't experience or heard differences, but have with soft coat vs coarse coat. Jack is my lightest grey sheepie, but he has a soft coat, never gets a nice coarse cover. But then I do cut him back twice a year. If you are going from puppy tuxedo black to adult coat, you have a battle ahead. The transition stinks! |
| No no no... no more transitioning coats here anymore. My guys are 11 and 7 in a couple weeks. I was just thinking about this and wondered. I have always had a much easier time with the whites, on all my guys. I know my Tucker's time is now very limited. Non will ever be as easy for me as he's been. He has a much softer than normal coat. (due to very poor breeding IMO) And although I really appreciate the coarser coat as it should be, I do love Tucker's for grooming. Shellie |
| Archie matts 10x more in his whites than in his grey/blue |
| In the greys though, there is much more webbing- making it much more matt-able. At least for us. Shellie |
| my bear is not typical breed standard colour having way way too much white ...the very little dark is much finer and easier to groom...the white grows much thicker and mats up quicker..this in england |
