He is absolutely adorable either puppy shaggy or w the close cut! I think it is personal preference. Sometimes, though, I think the groomers shave bc it can be done quicker than scissor trimming.
I like the combination cut - like the Zhoey or Joey cut - where the back is shaved and the face and legs are left longer. He is almost there for that cut. His legs would just have to grow out a bit. There are threads w pics of that cute cut.
I think it is really up to your preference (and his). My Gidget likes her hair shorter and no topknot. |
