You bring up an interesting point which I consider to be a "dirt" gene. I have a male that is very clean in many regards. He hates to get his feet wet, actually seems to enjoy a bath, avoids mud, but seems to love to roll in the most horrendous piles of you-know-what. His coat even when blown is still excessively thick . This gene is seen again in his daughter however like Pigpen on Charlie Brown she is dirty even immediately after the bath. Dirt seems to follow her and if by some chance it is slow catching up to her she too will roll in the same pile as daddy. While her coat isn't quite as thick as dad's, it is one of those long coats that takes care to groom. I would have to say it's not so much Murphy's law but a the Law of genetics (at least down here) Susan Ablon Gweebarra BMD Balch Springs, Tx http://www.pageweb.com/gwebara
