Anybody got suggestions on getting coat to grow faster? One of my entries for Atlanta I got a little carried away and I'm afraid he is too short and not going to grow enough to make enough of a difference. Its been 2 weeks and he's grown some but not what I'd like.

I don't know about any remedies to grow coat besides keeping it clean, conditioned and brushed out. Was your dog too short to compete when you trimmed him last time?
I was very worried in the past about the same thing and actually I am still worried because two of my entries are growing out from shave downs. However my past experience showed that dog may look like that there is no growth happening but competition time comes and they have enough coat. I competed with dog four weeks after Atlanta and he had plenty of coat. There was not much hair on the floor but I made a difference in appearance.
Don't worry you will be fine.

You can try some Dreamcoat, it is made by Halo, you put it in their food. I have used it in the past with some good results and i know other people that swear by it. I found it at a health store locally that also carried pet products. I know you can find it online though.What does a dog do on it's day off?

Check out kalaya Kenic Emu Oil shampoo. I use this on my own dogs, after using it for years on showdogs when I worked for a Standard Poodle exhibitor.
Google emu oil and check out it's benefits for skin and hair. It is highly penetrative to the skin and moisturizing to the hair.

[QUOTE=scissorhands2;389117]Depends on the situation, if you condition ends....it softens them and they break faster, it weakens them. QUOTE]
I know that's what we've all been taught. I was told the same thing. But if you understand what conditioners really do, you'll see it isn't true. And believe it or not, there are things to use to condition the coat that not only don't soften, they leave the hair shaft hard.
