Hi! I am a new member and a new Havanese puppy owner. We are considering cording her, and wondered if anyone can give us advice on when to begin the cording...
I am just guessing but I would bet that an ideal time to start cording would be during the coat change. It can get pretty ugly and they can mat/tangle ...

Thanks for the advice. What a better place to start than with puppy's first mats! LOL...
I'm in the same boat as the OP... and I'm just wondering exactly when I should expect the coat change? 9 months? I'm wondering if i should let it start...

Mats are something that you want out of a Collie. Mats are something that you leave in in a corded dog. They are what will eventually be your cord. The...
Yes, do it all with your fingers. You don't want matting behind the ears at this point and it is important to brush the head, face and ears now. The saddle can...
this is big OT for this list but most of us have unusual breeds of cats as well as dogs on this list. Besides that, being the listowner, it's my perogative to...

I know nothing about cording a poodle, and am new to the group. How do I start? Do I separate the matts? Really, I know nothing and don't know what to do? I...
Linda, I have a standard and corded her in a continental. What I did was to bathe her, let her dry (NO hand dryer) in a cage dryer or on her own. Then I...
Linda, That's exactly right. Separate the matts that form. As they grow out, they will form cords. I have a puli, so hers are larger than a poodles. You can...
I still have not found the best way to separate matts! My SWD matts the worst on her hind quarters! KtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtFKtF ...
Greg, Do I recognize you from the Havanese list?? I've been cording my sweet Chachi for about 18 months now. When hair meshes together between the cords I...
