| I would wait until Morgan has all her shots, you dont want to take her into a groomer un- vaccinated!

I believe my vet didn't want me to take Rosie until all vaccinations were done. I think she was like 8 months old. If I remember, kennel cough was a main concern.

| Norman went for his first 'mini clip' after he finished his shots. The first time he just got his feet and ears trimmed so he could get used to things. Then second time was a few weeks later and he got a full groom. Apparently he was 'Mr Congeniality' and played with everyone there! (traitor - lol) We didn't want him to go in and be terrified - I think it's better to give them a 'little' groom before starting the 'real' ones! Our groomer said that she also appreciated that we had gotten him used to being brushed at home before brininging him in to her. |

| My breeder grooms her dogs and show dogs so I can take Bear over to her....he gets to see his dog family and I know he is happy. I think I had his ears trimmed and sanitary areas done when he was 6 months old.....I just trimmed his body and face myself but if I want a serious cut done I will take him to my breeder's house.

| Thor is adorable. Mina was 16weeks old,but I am the one that groomed her over a 3 day period. Just a little each day. We had already planed on keeping Mina's hair short. If you are taking your baby into a groomer,you would probably want to wait until all shots are done. |

| Jackson went at 4 1/2 months old and it was just a trim, he still had most of his puppy hair until his second haircut at around 6 months old
