Hi List, I read an article titled Grooming the Old English Sheepdog, and I thought I would share a couple things that might be useful in many breeds. It said never to wash a dog with mats as water "sets" the mats. It also recommended using corn starch in a wet dirty coat, let it dry and brush it out. Also recommended for diarrhea in coat. Just make sure never to put corn starch, chalk etc. on a wet dog you plan to take in the ring soon. I do find cornstarch to be wonderful used on a dry coat to get out grease and dirt right before ring time.
