BEAR 𩵠Bearās coat is one of my favourites to groom as itās very poodle-like but softer. His face is a bit different though in that it is straighter and doesnāt stand as well as the rest of his body. Bear usually comes in a bit stinky and has knotty feet (this boy loves his mucky walks) but the tactic I take is soaking his feet in conditioner before shampooing twice, then conditioning again and this means that Iām able to practically blow out most of the knots with the dryer and they donāt have to be taken too short. Just look at his cute little legs!
