Chin don’t really mat. They may get a tangle in their ear or tail occasionally.
A bath every 7-10 days will keep them smelling fresh and shedding down to a minimum.
Take care not to get water down your baby’s nose OR in ears, in the tub.
A washcloth and shampoo work well to clean around the eyes and face.
Grooming supplies available at Wheatley Wares or Ren's Pet Depot in Canada

After the bath, thoroughly blow dry the coat. We use a boar bristle brush for this on babies.
I blow dry their hair backwards, from tail, towards their head.
Once she’s older, and has more coat, you may want to use a pin brush.
