They have a puppy special (up to 5 months of age) just to get them use to going to the groomer. They trimmed the hair around her feet, face, and bum...and of course, she got the cute little bow. It was only $15.00, so I guess I can't complain, but she is getting so shaggy. ha They must have used some special conditioner because she was very soft afterwards.
Is the 'cutting puppy hair will ruin their adult hair' speal true? If so, at what age should they begin? (Sophie's 3 1/2 months.) |
I'm not a groomer or an expert but when Chanel was little she got a REALLY bad grooming job and the hair did NOT grow back the same - she was over 1-1/2 years old when she got that cut - but the dark hair just never really came back like it had been....I think if your puppy NEEDS to be cut/shaved down due to matts - do it - but if not ....then trims are ok - I'm curious now also about the hair changing.
I bet your puppy looks cute ...it's better to cut to little than too much
