CA Poppy, Sunny is a light cream, with dense, curly hair, except for his top knot, which is fairly straight. Right now, his coat's pretty short (how he came when we adopted him), and I try to brush him at least 3x a week. So far, so good as far as keeping the tangles at bay.
Deb, I'd give him treats, if he'd eat them, but he won't take any food from our hands yet. I used a lot of soft, positive reinforcement, which he likes. He's really pretty good, except the front feet. The clipper doesn't bother him; it's touching his front feet that he doesn't like.
