What is Cording?
Cording is a technique in which dog coats are separated patiently into dreadlocks for coat care or presentation purposes. The cords form naturally in tight curled fur, but to make them attractive for show the cords are carefully started by separating clumps of fur in a regular pattern, and tended until they are long enough to grow on their own.
The cording process from start to finish is very long and goes through a ugly stage. Depending on the breed and coat this can be 4-10 months to see the more finished look. So patience and commitment is key.
Maintaining cords is easier but still requires time consuming separation at the roots and a extensive bathing process which we specialize in. Corded breeds must stay all day for it takes 3-10 hours to dry a corded breed depending on size and length of cords. the bath alone takes 1-2 hours, for soaking cords and the rinsing process is very important.
