Some dogs, like yours, and our Samantha, a poodle/bischon mix, because they do not shed, need consistent grooming. We take Samantha to the groomer every month, which, though is an additional expense, we knew that was the trade-off for the non-shedding. In addition to the monthly professional grooming, I brush and comb her daily, to keep her from matting, which she is certainly inclined to do. She now understands, that is just part of the every morning ritual, along with brushing her teeth also. I doubt she looks forward to the process, but she is tolerant of it, now, and her objections are mild and infrequent. I tell her its the price she must pay for beauty.
