Maltese Bichon Dog - Baxter

(Wisconsin)

Baxter was a soft fur ball of a puppy. My Maltese Bichon dog is now two and he has wavvy hair. He is very active but then turns off like a light switch. I had a Vet tell me not to baby him so much so I do not have a lap dog. He is independent while he is active, but a snuggler when he is tired.

He gets hair mats even with daily brushing. I would like any secrets on how to reduce them or at home products to help get them out. Is he missing something in his diet? I feed him natural dog food.

I swear by natural dog food, he does not have tear stains anymore.

Baxter hates rain and loves the snow. He thinks he is a Black Lab or he may be possessed by our previous Lab. He does not go for little toys and love Golden Retrievers.

He is very social with people and dogs. He does not know what to think of ponies.

He is so very cute.
