Thank you Palane. I just ordered LL products. My water used to be well (hard) but now we are required to have city water and the plant is so small that they are having to chlorinate it. You can almost always smell the chlorine and sometimes the tub water looks almost bluish like a swimming pool. This can't be good for the afghan coat. I'm hoping the LL will help. About everything they suggest for an afghan coat is coming so it will be fun trying it out. Coat handler doesn't have the lanolin. Hopefully it will soften his coat. Right now his head has the right silky feeling and parts of his legs but not much else.
My boy is mostly cream with some red brindle on one side and the other is silver, grey, and cream on the other and his saddle and unmasked face part are tiger coloring. Which LL color tint would you suggest? Do you still think mahogany? I think you should be their sales rep too!
I started a topic earlier and thought I was going to the afghan thread but it ended up elsewhere (I think) duh. But have you ever had a problem with any of your afghans marking in the house? uuuaaggghhh I know but there it is. I have never had a dog do this. He will be 2 in June and just started this about 6 weeks ago. Like his stealing of food he is very fast and sneaky about it. Food grabbing is kind of funny, especially since it's their instinct but the marking instinct is yuck. Any suggestions?
My first afghan was a relative of Sunny Shay's Shirkhan of Grandeur and he looked alot like the "Lion on the leash" that is pictured in the afghan thread. He wasn't show quality but he was a great dog for a teenager. The dog I have now is but is almost 2 too old to start showing him? I notice all of his liter mates are listed and pointing in many shows in my area. I would also have to get a handler for him due to business and kids. I've also heard handlers can have them for quite awhile. Would miss the rascle.
Sorry for all the questions. I'm kind of thinking out loud (in post) here.
