Yep, he is my teddy bear. Well, first off, you have to brush your dog every day. If you don't, he will get matts. Shag had matts under his big ear flaps one day that I had to cut out. So I learned to rub my hands over every inch of his body to make sure he doesn't have any. Also, you have to cut the hair around his bum too. I get him groomed every 4 months or so because his hair can get long. In the summer, I have to shave him down so he doesn't get too hot, everywhere but his head (which just gets trimmed) and his tail. It's alot of work to brush him but I enjoy it and he looks so great. People stop me all the time!
