the same reason that some people have curly hair, it is in their genes. Many spainels have long straight hair. There are plenty that never have a long coat at all. Spainels are hunting dogs. Traditionally, they have shorter coats than their show counterparts. The long hair has been bred into them. If your dog comes from a hunting line and not a show line, she might not ever have that floor length coat. It might look pretty to some, but i have owned spainels, and that show coat is a pain to keep up, and unless you are a groomer and can do it yourself, you will spend a fortune at the groomers.
Also, your dog is still a puppy, she won't get an adult coat for a while, it is advisable to not clip her until she is a year old at least, give her coat a chance to come in all the way.

Some cockers just have curly hair and others have straight. My cocker has pretty straight hair but if it air dries it's a little curly. Usually people strive for the straight hair, check out the akc website or the site for the Westminster Kennel Club. Those are beautiful babies!! If you want the hair long you must brush and comb it every day to keep the tangles out and then have your groomer only trim the top of her back and the head. Tell the groomer to leave the hair on the skirt (stomach feathering) and the legs long. Take good care of your baby, they are the best!

in my opinion, if i grow to be searching for dogs which could relatively do the artwork, i does no longer circulate with a American Cocker Spaniel. i grow to be relatively thinking a Boykin myself. i do no longer in many circumstances preserve spaniels, however the Boykin did seize my eye. If i grow to be looking into procuring a Boykin which could relatively do artwork, i might hit upon an outstanding breeder via the Boykin Spaniel Society, no longer the AKC breed club. Unstoppable, the Boykin is a FSS with the AKC and an relatively previous American breed of dogs. Why do no longer you focus on the canines you have now. have you ever even been interior the sphere? Have your mothers and dads ever taken you looking? have you ever relatively ever dealt with a gun? I doubt it. what's the clarification your modern-day canines can not be off lead? no count what style of dogs you get, you nonetheless ought to coach it. for the reason which you have already got 2 canines, what makes you even think of your mothers and dads what to assist a third dogs. practice the canines you have already got. for the reason which you have a sheltie, why do no longer you're taking it herding and study that sport?

I never saw a dog with curly legs but you could try using one of those hot curling combs. THAT WAS A JOKE. Are you one of these women who looks at pictures of models in magazines and then tries to look like them? Leave your puppy alone, I'm sure s/he is gorgeous just the way s/he is.

bathe the puppy and dont blow dry its hair. Unless he has straight hair then it wont work.
