A friend was telling me the whiskers aren't as important to dogs so it's ok to cut them along with the rest of the face area. Is that true?
When I was a grooming assistant, the groomer would usually try to just trim them down a bit, but not cut them completley off! I have trimmed Fiona's down a lot, and she was fine with it! I guess it's sorta a breed prefrence thing! lol
