Length of hair

| The fun part is, mistakes grow out, you can change your mind. I've often wondered what they'd look like in a shorter leg longer coat....think Golden Retriever. The herding means dirty feet, so I'd want shorter on the lower carriage. You could probably to up to about 5 inches and then taper and sculpt. ....AND...if it doesn't look right, it grows back!! |
| Yeah, the legs are the worst in terms of grooming. I will try that, just working the legs a bit more, trimming them shorter. Just don't tell David! |
| I end up having to trim down Monty's feet a lot of the time because they matt the easiest. As soon as there is a little mat or burr he chews on it and then becomes a huge mat. The rest of the body I can keep up with in long cut. I can imagine it would be really hard to keep on top of it with three dogs. I worry people will notice his pin feet when the rest is so furry but no one says anything, too busy looking at his cute upper body. I have asked some of my friends and they say it doesn't look bad and keeps the feet cleaner, it's more practice. |
pin feet  Poodle toes? Must not be too bad as we've never noticed. We've discussed flair or bevel trimming up from the pads, but still not enough. Understand the licking and chewing. Kdog will finish her meal, lay down and clean her tongue on her left leg. So it is always slobber crusted. I no sooner clean and comb and she plasters it down again. Not too bad when short hair but when longer, it is nasty. |
We'd give Boo a shave down this time of year. The first time we had it done we thought "Oh my gosh! what have we done?!" But he always seemed to enjoy being shorthaired, and in a matter of weeks it'd really start filling out. As someone said "mistakes grow out" - the nice thing is you can experiment and if you don't like it, it'll be gone shortly. |
