| Quick question I was unsure of where to put this question, here or in grooming, but since the dog in question is a show dog, I figured it was more appropriate here. When shaving a dogs genital region, how far up the belly do you go? I know that I used to not take it up far enough, as he was still messing some of his belly hair, but I don't want to end up shaving too far up. Anyone have some input on this? |

| grooming It really depends on how thick and full his coat is...if it is heavy, then you can clip to the rib cage..but a thinner coat needs that under hair so the side coat remains full... US judges do not pay attention to how much hair is on the belly, never recall one looking at any of mine there... |

| Thank you for your reply. Lol, I wasn't really worried about judges looking under there, it was mostly just finding out if I would ruin him or something if I took the hair off too far up. |
