Poor Scruff looks like a shaven lamb today!
He had a trip to the groomers yesterday to sort out his horrible matted coat (it ended up in a mess after a few days at the vet, then made worse by his buster collar, then again by not being able to bath him because of his stitches)
He has gone from a cuddly ball of fluff, to completely bald in some places! Feeling like a bad mum. Have invested in a grooming table for him so that we can take it more seriously as I don't want him bald again!

Don't suppose anyone has any miraculous tips for encouraging his coat to grow? The groomer estimated 3 motnsh to get it fully back, but when he had under his chin shaved I thought it took much longer?

He is coat is starting to change to be less puppy and fluffy like which will hopefully more manageable!

Fairly bald yeah. They were left with no option as is coat was at the stage where it wouldn't de-matt nicely.
It seems a bit harsh but the poor lad was i a bit of a state!
 
If its bald from being stripped then it'll grow back quicker than if it was clipped!!

Don't ask me why but it just does!!

Unfortuneately it was clipped!
I'm not sure if you could get away with stripping a single coated dog?
I shall have to post a pic, he isn't quite as bald as a Chinese Crested, still has hair on his back, but just nothing like our fluffy dug!
 
Here are some pics for Comparison!

How flufffy he was (can't really see how matted it was as it's mainly at the roots)
