We just had her groomed for the very first time the other day. Unfortunately, she was more matted than I thought. She wasn't tolerating brushing very well. Anyway, the groomer was VERY good and patient. It was an all day process, working in 10-15 minute segments so as not to overstress her. But she ended up getting shaved, although not down to the skin. She was able to keep her tail furry and her face. I guess you would call it a lion cut. But she does look soooo cute. As soon as I can take a pic of her I will post it.
