Reckon a trip to pets at home may be in order...

Just as well I just got paid - you know I'm going to end up with a slicker brush, some other new fangled combing gadget plus at least 2 toys, and some treats, just like agility springer!! LOL

Awwwww she's worth it

yup - sad how it goes though isn't it... Once upon a time I spent all my money on clothes, shoes and alcohol, then it was clothes, shoes and toys for kids, now it's all for the dog.. hehe! She is worth every penny though

Sounds very familiar

As an aside instead of bathing her fully when she has been in the muddy water, cant you just risnse her down with some clean water, and then (like the others said) use a slicker to remove the last of the muck? No need to shampoo every time she gets mucky - i reserve the shampoo for the groomer (first visit today) and the nasties (goose poop is hard to get rid of! - sets like concrete!)

I have done this a couple of times to get the mud off his legs


I think of a bath as a big full on event

A working cocker you say? I know someone who has a few working type cockers, I think they get a comb if they've been through the brambles, but that's about it! They look fab au naturelle, and don't seem to get many tangles either. Some of the cocker hair do's are spectacular!!!
