| That's entirely up to you. I had to cut off a lot of Chelsea's hair when she blew her puppy coat and it nearly killed me. My two darker boys never seemed to blow their coats so I've never cut them. It just depends on how it looks, how you want it to look, how easy/hard it is to maintain, etc.

| Thank you! There's no rule that says you have to cut the puppy hair. A lot of people do because of matting problems like Chelsea had. There's just something about the incoming adult hair tangling up with the puppy hair and causing bad mats. If you aren't having any problems, and if you like it long, then I'd say don't cut it.

| It all is up to you. I couldn't stand Jackson's puppy hair. He started looking sooo straggly and messy. I would have to brush him 4x a day to even look like I brushed him at all. I prefer to keep his hair short, as he had kind of curly-ish hair and it starts to look messy when it grows out. First pic is as a pup and then the second is how I try to keep his hair now.

| By the time a pup reaches 9 months, his/her hair will be floor length. By then, the puppy hair reaches the floor & begins to break of. I trim Mimi's hair around her paws just bc she steps on her own hair. Other than that, I leave her hair long & flowing, since she doesn't tangle easily.

| No! I do trimmings in between grooming's (like his eye bangs, around his face, and his butt, lol) though. I'm lucky I found a really good low-key groomer who gets Jackson in and out within 2 hours and he always looks really nice. She always does what I specifically ask for.
