the dog i show has a lot of tummy feathers which are white He is always cocking his leg and of course pees on his feathers I try to wash him down a few times a week but sometimes the wee smell is so strong it can be more
Is there anything i can put on his feathers when he,s clean that will act as a good barrier against the wee?

Someone recommended the cornflower talc - (the one with the purple lid from HUB International?
I haven't tried it yet as my baby's fur is till short but will buy at the next show

Washing or at least wiping down with a scented baby wipe is the only way to reduce the smell, cornflour talc will dry it up and 'The Stuff' - a silicone based spray - coats the white hairs between baths to stop the urine discolouring the coat but does little to mask the smell.

i think ill try The Stuff as if i can use something that will act as a barrier and keep the urine from soaking in to much hopefully it will reduce the smell well thats just me thinking that

Just a thought but has he got feathering on the end of his winkle?    I've noticed that those dogs who have an inch or two rarely pee on their legs/feathering as the winkle hair directs the wee onto the ground :)  might be worth encouraging if you've been snipping it off ;)

ETA  bicarb diluted and used as a wash might help with the smell - it neutralises odours ;)  but he'd probably preer his natural 'perfume' :-D

BTW 'THE STUFF' is great as a protector

My two Cavaliers get very sticky tummies and catch their leg feathers in between baths. I use this product:

(Sorry - I can't do posh links!!!)  The mousse is really good stuff, no sticky tummies and it deals with the smell really well.

I have to agree with Dill here, as a new Cavalier owner, I snipped off Harvey's tinkle hair when it appeared and couldn't wait for it to grow back!

Shame but no feathering on his pinkle so maybe that doesnt help could do with a little transplasnt there
