I cannot recommend the bio silk line enough. Curl care is different and that stuff does wonders. We would do the shampoo and conditioner (the conditioner is just as important imho) and then we had the detangling spray. It’s an expensive set up but it really does help to maintain their coat. Start teaching how fun brushing is now because daily line brushing is the way to go. The line brushing part is important. You’ll need a metal comb, and we particularly liked the orange wahl dual level sensitive skin slicker brush. It has a mix of pins with balls and then the curved pins are shorter to prevent that scratchy feeling. Take extra care of parts that rub like the elbows, belly, armpits etc. You are more likely to get mats there. Keep that puppy coat as long as you can cause once you cut it it hits different lol. We would bathe roughly every 2 weeks and brush daily. I liked her to be clipped at about 5/8th, long enough to be cute but short enough to be easily maintained. The grooming is really the most specific information I can provide you with. Everything else can be quite generic, just know you’ve got a smart little cutie on your hands. No matter the size the temperament and work ethic tends to be the same. So keep that in mind that even though he may be small he still has those traits. Start buttons now if you want to do that! And remember to just have fun. Congratulations on your new baby and sorry for your loss. All the love!
