I clip both of the girls. Sadie doesn't have a nice coat so keeping her clipped is a better look for her. Lillie HAD a GORGEOUS coat, very long, silky and shiny...I would have to trim the bottom every time she got a bath because it would drag on the floor. I now clip her too. I use a 1 1/4 in guide on the clippers so their hair isn't really short. I clip the hair on their ears, 1/3 down, the little hairs that stick in their eyes, around their feet, their hineys and between the pads on their feet so they don't slide when running around the house. I am not a professional and a pro would probably look at them and pick them apart but....I have heard so many horror stories of botch jobs and even worse....getting attacked by other dogs and people losing their babies...I don't want to take that chance....I think they look ADORABLE!!
