I would be crushed if someone did this to my puppy. For that reason, I do it myself. If I mess up, I am the only one to blame.

They said "sorry, we had to go so short, if we would have brushed her it would have tramatized her and broken some of the hair anyways"  Lola is the best when it comes to brushing. I just had a busy couple of weeks and figured I could have someone else do it, and maybe trim her up a little. I was crushed. She has the most beautiful coat. 
Here's her running in the snow pre-grooming http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/09...ginsnow001.flv
