I have said "puppy" cut so many times and they have shaved the whole body and left the head huge...left the body long and face real long and PARTED but shaved in between his eyes and under his eyes  . One I just asked to make it about an inch and a half everywhere, nice and rounded off with no sharp edges or cuts...that was the WORST . He looked like an owl, my poor baby, his body wasnt touched, his face was totally parted down center and they shaved under his eyes  . I felt so bad for him. I just re-cut it myself. Now I plan on taking a picture, or if I like they way he is I will say that I want him to look just like this but a little shorter! I think some groomers just have an image in their own mind and it dosnt matter what you want somtimes . Also if you ever see a dog in your area that you like, ask them where they go!! |
You can't just go in and say, "puppy cut!" This cut differs in every breed, especially in the shape of the head. I also like a round babydoll face, and have had my female returned looking like a sheep one time and with a huge lion head the next. I even typed out instructions down to the last detail. I don't remember ever coming home and not correcting something on either animal from day one, which is why I will clip them myself. The baby is a little too wild yet, but the female lays on her back and let's me clip her. Her temperament is incredible. She just had a cleaning with no anesthesia and got an "A" for obedience on her report card. My boy....well....he is project in the works...hehehehe. I am praying he learns by example...
Yorkie Talk has tons of wonderful photos....so, my advise is if you are taking your animal in for grooming, bring a photo! Pictures speak much louder than words...
