I groom my baby myself and have gone from letting EVERYTHING grow out to the floor to the summer cut and several in between styles... The long hair was beautiful, for a very short time! What a mess! It posed a hygiene problem first of all. We did a butt cut but still collected grass and fleas so I did the legs very short, still grass and fleas. (we live in Louisiana!) I did what I guess is called the puppy cut. It is about 2-3 inches long, legs are still short from the last cut. It is SO cute. I also trimmed the mustache short, it was always in her mouth! Left the beard long just shaped it nicely. I cant really tell the difference except there is no hair in her mouth. Butt is still CLOSE. I like to cut just the middle of the bangs short. She still has bangs but they stay out of her eyes. She doesnt like a topnot.

Good luck. They are so cute I think you will like any cut you give her.
