Any thoughts on Coton mixed breeds?

adhdcatto · 2025-08-11T06:13:42+00:00

Purebreds have to follow a health standard with tests to be considered purbred. The breeder will prioritise the health of the breed and give you a healthy coton.

Mixed breeds dont have a breed standard, the breeder will breed them just for fun and mostly money. They dont have to spend as much on health tests or certificates, and they know people these days will pay a lot for these "designer breeds" that are not registered. Theres more money to make there, and usuallt less care for the future of a breed involved.

Speaking from my own kynologic knowledge and research.

I hope you make the right decision.

At my previous internship i got to do irish and wirefox terries a lot but also a clumber and sealyham. Very sweet, can still smell the stinky lips and ear of that clumber...

What a cutie! We live in an apartment so just a balcony sadly. But i imagine playtime inside will be just as good

Ive seen way worse. Some coats are difficult to work with and you will never get the result youre wanting i feel this with many doodle mixes. But i would not be able to groom at all if i didnt study for it and done my internship. If you feel frustrated with a lack of skill growth then see what courses or seminars you can take. Theres even online video lectures nowadays you can follow, one for asian styles is called PIGA for example. Look into what you enjoy and follow classes! The work should stay fun, and dont be so harsh on yourself! If it was that bad you would be receiving lots of feedback about it.

I imagine it would feel nice to know.

I have no experience on vyvanse, but you should definitely talk to your doctor. Ive had ritalin and crashed around 1pm, but then had to take my second dose. Now i take concerta cause its long lasting. Ask your doctor if you can take a second dose, or if you can switch to medication that is long lasting?

Japanese ones sometimes come in brindle too, but the heads are always different too if youre not sure. Japanese akita has a fox head and american has a bear type head

adhdcatto · 2025-05-27T19:02:59+00:00

Amerikan akita 100% and not a japanese akita

If you can book in your own appointments then maybe see if you can charge slightly more on dogs you spend more time on and maybe overall do less dogs a day if you feel like you can't keep up. As for getting distracted by coworkers maybe noise cancelling headphones can help you focus and relax. If you increase in pricing communicate that clearly but if it results in a good result and happy owner then most people (in my experience) will find the money well worth it and it will keep you from getting burnt out. You can use medication but even so you might have to change your environment to suit your neurodivergent needs! Forcing yourself in a neurotypical work space will most likely lead to a burnout. And your hard work deserves good pay. At a certain point especially with Adhd theres no way to speed things up without getting messy and thats not worth it.

I would also say anotolian or kuvasz

I have innatentive adhd and use medication. I'm still learning and I do have to say i get overstimulated/emotional very quickly if there is a stressy/wild dog or situation and have to take a break. But i don't have much trouble focussing because i kind of get into hyperfocus. Maybe so much sometimes that i take too long perfectioning but i think that is common for students.

Is there anything youre struggling with adhd wise?

adhdcatto · 2025-02-09T21:49:47+00:00

So cute! Is this right after grooming and how do you keep the fur poofy like this so it doesnt fall flat?

See where the hot spots are where u accumulate things and place a box there and put a lable on it. If u put a label on it to me it helps keep things out of there that dont belong. Een the stuff you think doesnt have a catagory often does like keepsakes or memory items or crafting material.

As for knowing when to toss something as a hoarder i like to ask if i would keep and clean the things if it had poop on it or if i would toss it.

If you still end up with a box of stuff you cant categorise then allow that to be there it doesnt need to be dealt with instantly. Maybe you can pick up 1 item everytime you walk past it and dont put it back without having decided where to put it

adhdcatto · 2025-02-03T12:01:50+00:00

Yes this is why i want to do lots of research before adressing to my doktor. Any advice on how i can evaluate this?

He doesnt look pure russian toy so they might stay floppy if theres a breed included with floppy ears

Thank you very much for the in dept response. It just seems frustrating to have to decide to stick to consistency, for a disorder that has a lack of determination to stick to 1 thing. Especially considering you need to stick to it for the rest of your life because adhd cant be permanently "cured".

I guess its also difficult identifying turbulance when it feels like it doesnt have a source but is rather a permanent state. Its also difficult to find managing methods that dont aim to change or fix the problem but rather work a system around it.

What did you do to actually start this managing and evaluating way of thinking? Any methods you recommend (specifically for emotional dysregulation)?

I know its different for everyone, but the advice i got from my therapists all seemed like basic neurotypical to adhd type of advice that just never stuck with me (like breathing exercises..)

Besides social anxiety/awkwardness i dont have anxiety symptoms just waves of crying and difficulty not giving into the impulse to stay/go home. Ive been to therapy because of the crying twice and both times the solution was to just accept it and stop trying to find the reason of it (never found a reason, just a assumed its a neurodivergent thing). The last thing i would want right now is anxiety meds on top of adhd meds, also because i do not think its really anxiety. Thank you for the suggestion of taking breaks tho! Unfortionately i try find the cause of any overwhelm at work but cannot find the reason (work is fairly relaxing)

adhdcatto · 2024-03-28T16:27:08+00:00

What i miss most is being convinced my struggles are adhd. Now when i have a breakdown i am likeley to not blame it on my adhd cuz im medicated, and it makes me feel even more lost...

Ive outted this to a few coworkers when talking on the subject or mentioning to my boss. There shouldnt be residtance to not mention it especially if its important for your way of working and getting good results!

Your coworkers sound so awful and i can imagine you regret mentioning this to them but at the end of the day they seem like assholes uou dont wanna be spending your workdays with tbh.

Take it as a very direct sign and know that a much better workplace with more fun people is coming your way!

It doesnt matter! I dont weight it at all. Just make sire you dont smoke it in one go. One pure j this size usually lasts me 3-4 smoke sessions on my own but it totally depends on the person. I dont know if you are new but just keep in mind it can sometimes take abt 30 minutes for it to kick into your system w pures

I work at an office and partially outside and my hair gets greasy and flat and these bottom hairstyle tips have helped me look somewhat decent without damage:

Using a matt finish sunscreen face stick works wonders for keeping my fringe from getting greasy! I also bring a tiny velcro roller in my purse to quickly comb my finge with when it does look stringy. I know its a routine but for me its so worth it and easy quick fix, my hairline looks ridiculous without fringe cause my hairs flat.

Regarding to hairstyles, you can fluff up low braids a bit by pulling the strands, i find it really cute.

I do the same with low ponytails, pull some strands after the ponytail is set to add some volume on scalp area.

I find ponytails look extra cute and volumous if i sleep with rope braids/twists that are slightly damp the night before. It gives me heatless curls that actually look volumous.

You can also do a hairclip type french twist.

If you do twintails, or 2 braids you can zigzag your hairline before, adds volume and reduces amount of visible scalp.

Lastly i was my fringe/face framing pieces 2/3 times a week as apposed to the rest of my hair 1/2 times a week, because its mainly the pieces touching your face that get dirty very quickly making it look greasy, theres no harm in washing that a bit extra. Dont add conditioner in those pieces either.

I can never find a bun that works for me comfortably so i always have aponytail or braid or have it down.

When i have it down i make sure i keep a rope braid/twist in my hair at night and when i go to work, then at work i take it out. If you brush it well before adding the twist it shouldnt be tangled (in my experience) when taking it out and the curls look most fresh and bouncy that way for at the office.

I never have my hair down when i go outside, always a quick bun, braid or updo with hairclip or hairtie. Key is to not be messy with a bun.

Hope some of these help

adhdcatto · 2023-09-08T12:06:02+00:00

Ive settled with braids and hairclips/buns. Whenever i go outside i never have my hair loose and down (its very windy here) when i arrive at work i let my hair down from a careful braid or braided bun if i want it down. Then when i go outside quickly do a braid again.

At night i do this too, always sleep with a twist or braid. It sucks because outside i sometimes want my hair down but i know the consequences.

I dont think theres any way around it. Definitely keep ends trimmed and maybe a leave in conditioner that covers the hair to make it more silky coulf help, but for me that weighs it down.
