I can't comment on your coat as I'm Tan and black, but mom has started grooming me and Tess to keep costs down, but when I used to be all hand stripped Dave the groomer said the the coat grows at different times. Mom noticed this as sometimes after I had been groomed I would look good but other times I would be what they call inbetween coats! Hope you injoy your time at boot camp!! and Gail brings you something nice back.

Jed has super soft head furs, a dense [now blowing] undercoat and a wavy, semi-coarse top coat on his back - that's the water dog breeding. He's a NSDTR.<br /><br />When mama did Dane rescue, there were a disproportionate number of black Danes not only in rescue, but rescued from abusive situations. There is something about a large, black dog that brings out the worst in a certain type of slime ball human. Although mama would argue with even calling them human. Blue, black and harlequin Danes seem to be very common in Australia; don't know about the UK. In the U.S., fawn and brindle are by far the most popular and numerically larger proportion of Danes, although blacks, Harlequins and mixes are growing in popularity. The AKC is even moving to allow mantle Danes to be shown in sanctioned matches for the first time. Unbutchered ears are also growing in popularity in the U.S., which is a marked improvement in just a few years.<br /><br />Sure hope you have a fun time at camp. Gail is going to owe you BIG TIME for this!<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-69816861899949650372012-04-03T22:51:42.899+01:002012-04-03T22:51:42.899+01:00I've definitely got areas that are more wirey ...I've definitely got areas that are more wirey and areas that are softer.
