I've shaved Zach twice now and Lola about 3 or 4 times. Their hair grows back in the same, for Zach it actually feels more softer? I imagine so because now all his baby hair has been shaved off. I'm at work so I can't put a pic up but I shave them like little lions. Body really short and leave the hair on the feet, tail and head longer. Looks really cute, easy to maintain and very nice for the hot hot humid weather we are having
