Got a little Mucky on his walk tonight

And he still won't be getting a bath for the National Terrier Club Champ Show on Saturday      





And we found out this evening he has apparent super powers , sorry if anyone that knows me on FB has already seen it but I love this pic     ( and it isn't photoshopped :lol I'm not that clever )

Booful Tommy, even if he is a grubby bubby!

btw, I remember advising you ages ago not to bathe Tommy just before a show, and this was based on my experience with my Dobies where they got all dandruffy, and I fear I might have misled you because sometime afterwards I gave Kuchar his first ever bath (well, vigorous shower) and he wasn't dandruffy at all afterwards so it may have been just a Dobie thing.

Anyway, you'll have found out for yourself how Tommy's coat/skin reacts to being washed.

Wishing you both the very best for Saturday - rock on Tommy!!!!!!!

Nope lol I have to actually wash him to find that out , seriously he is laid on our bed now clean as anything and only had a run over with a Towel , we should call him Teflon Tommy

Thanks Lynda , lets hope we have better luck this week , have another show on Sunday in Scotland too supporting a friend who is judging

Nah, a brisk rub down will see him right! Mucky pup!  

Good luck at the national terrier - should be a good entry.

Gorgeous doggy!

Can I use the magic-Tommy picture on the Facebook page? It's the sweetest thing I've seen all day!

172 dogs and 192 entries I think Caryll

believe the bitch entry is higher than dog entry something like 90-95 bitches . This is a good result since lots of people were talking about boycotting it

Why the boycott? What have I missed?

He's just heard that a mud bath is good for the skin great pics x

tbh when I showered Kuchar (and only because he had rolled in some dog poo) surprisingly very little dirt came out of his coat. Whereas my Dobes would brush against woodwork like doorframes and leave a great smear and I had to shower them every 3 months or so.

Maybe Staffies are magic and have self-cleaning coats!

I'd be interested in learning about the possible boycott too!

I think it very much depends on the coat type. Dempsey has very long, soft, thick fur for a Bull Terrier, so dirt gets trapped easily. Others only need a quick brush every couple of days to keep them clean!
