Welcome to Pet Talk!

What a cute dog! He may be a purebred, but it is hard to tell.

I have had trouble with mats before. Prince (pictured in my signature) got mats this summer. If they get really bad, they are really hard to get out. You have to have the right kind of brushes, and you have to know how to use them I bought a dematting comb from Petco.com, and Prince's trainer taught me how to use it. It worked very well, but it takes time to get them all out.

We first brought him to the groomers, but they didn't give us the groomer we asked for, just an employee. (She wasn't a real groomer.) So, if you end up bringing the dog to the goomers, make sure it is a good groomer. Those mats can be tough to get out!

Good luck!
