I almost choked on my cup of tea, Merlot, absolutely howling here...and yes, I have a naked girl with a 16 week old litter who may just seal the deal by coming in season just in time for Crufts!
Vino came into season 3 days ago so I am pleased we should have that out of the way now at least! The coat is creeping back but her tail does somewhat resemble a washing line with a couple of odd socks hanging there !! Hey ho the joys of showing Girlies !! Aileen
LOL been there with my boy 2 years ago totally naked of coat - like you didn't know they could shed completely - was advised it was his adolescence coat going and it would come back and stay - thankfully (touches wood) it has!
Sadly nothing you can do realistically than just go with it don't think anything really can encourage it!
Im taking my girl with two shaved patches! luckerly one is on her belly and one on her neck not on the show side and as its a medium coat its harder to see.
