I got Bella a puppy cut at 10 months old for the summer. Had her face short and squared, left enough on top for a bow. She looked absolutely adorable and cool. But I think she felt naked because she came home from the groomers and hid out for a few hours. Until we all told her how cute she looked. I will grow her out this winter and see how she does. I just hate the long hair around her face it always gets food and water on it. No matter what she is just a cutey.
