We are not in the habit of brushing obsessively our dogs with shorter hair than Kasper.
Kasper NEEDS pretty much daily grooming I would say. 5-15 minutes brushing dialy mandatory. To make Billy specially bonded with us, apart from taking care of him in his youthful sicknesses, I cuddled him immensely and showered him with kisses. The strategy required to bond wiht Kaspar from ym point of you is for me to look at how much grooming brushing a day I should do to bond with him. I cannot rely on hubby to do his share of the brushing.
I am trying my best of vibe to get to at least meet Kasper.
