General grooming question for the group!

My dog Terri is about 4 years old, and, due to him being BYB (he was rescued by us from the Human Society - he was an amish puppy mill dog 😔) I think he inherited some of the "wooly" coat genes that double coated dogs sometimes can get when not bred well.

He has guard hairs that stand off from the side of the body etc, but he seems more undercoated/wooly in his chest ruff area but the hair is very fine almost like silk so if we try to get a groomer to cut it so his chest has that rounded fluff look - it just never really looks that way. 😅😅😅

I've attached some photos to this post - does anyone have any tips/tricks/recommendation for getting their Eskie to look like this?

Eskie Allergies + Paws

Hello everyone! My eskie Terri has been on Apoquel, benadryl, limited diet food for sensitive skin and stomach, regular brushings + is taking Zenrelia and fully vaccinated.

Unfortunately, he is still itchy (though somewhat less now after Zenrelia) and he has the stinkiest frito paws and likes to lick and chew his paws.

Cytology was done on the paws and his ears and muzzle and no bacteria came back and only a tiny bit of yeast. Vet said that it was likely allergies driving his paw eating behaviors.

I have also been prescribed the prescription strength duoxo mousse in the past, used that on him as well. It did help - but only marginally.

Has anyone else her dealt with an Eskie this preoccupied with the paws? He doesn't have any hot spots or infections/abscesses on his overall skin or paws.

Pls help!!
