thanks one & all, Looks like daughter & s-i-l will have to book him into a groomers to have his first proper tidy up cos he really is looking a right little scruff!! (Sorry no pics, still haven't worked out how to on here) Its such a shame cos when he's good (still typically a pup so chews what he shouldn't) he can be sooo cute but being very wispy, straggly etc it does spoil the effect!!
