I like to keep Ben long, but clean around the nose and eyes. He has fairly thin, silky hair that stays pretty cool to the touch. So, even with Florida summers, I think he is comfortable. My problem is keeping the grass and things off his underneath hair. He is like a dustmop, except in reverse, bringing in all the debris and leaving it on the floor!
This pic was taken when he got home from the groomer's. He usually pouts for a few hours after he gets home. Does not like it one bit! It costs $40. For that she shampoos and blows dry, gives him a good sanitary cut (both places), cuts the hair on his nose and around his eyes, trims all hair, especially around the paws and between pads, tips the ears (shaves hair off top 1/3 triangle), clans and gets the hair out of his ears, trims his nails and has him smelling so good that it lasts almost a week! She also lets me schedule first appointment of the day, so I can wait on him. |
