I actually had Biscuit groomed one time at a different groomer (in my vet's office) and when they brought him out to me.....he looked like a mini schnauzer! I couldn't even say a word I was so shocked...thank goodness hair grows back.
I went to a different groomer from then on and learned to ask for a puppy cut with no top know.
It is nice to hear that groomers do not usually get offended when owners ask for a specific type of cut.
