Thank you all for the nice comments!
lol - Ruby recently had a bath because she had a show this past weekend...but Leo hasnt been bathed in weeks. The only time I bathe them is before shows...typically the dirt just falls out on it's own...and Ruby is pretty fanatical about keeping herself clean.
This is what they looked like a a couple of weeks ago :
(you can tell where that off colored patch on Leo's flank came from here)
And this is what they looked like the next day (I dont brush/clean/wash them after getting messy like that...just towel them down)
And Ruby looked like this Last monday (the monday before her shower)
Ruby hadnt been bathed in about 7 weeks before this friday...lolAnd like I said...Leo hasnt been bathed in a while. It's that weather resistant shepherd coat! Even whites have it
No extra grooming necissary
As far as how white they are - it's the sunlight - when they are outside they are that color. Ruby has alot more cream to her coat then Leo...but they are in fact very, very white
It's a public university...and it's not really in full bloom yet - though I did get the blessing of one of the gardeners as I snuck on...I think it was the shirt I was wearing though....![]()
