she looks great! you did very well for your first time.
Just a little tip from a mom of a coat coated girl as well, i don't leave the chest hair because Morgan wears a collar and the hair will mat. If Maci doesn't wear a collar or sweaters in the winter then she should be fine but if she does then you might want to trim that too.
Also i think i read that you used a guard comb on her feet right? I'm not sur what part of her feet you used it on, but if you meant the pads then you don't need a guard comb. you can use the little whal trimmer and just run it flush with her pads to get that hair out from in between.
I have Morgan in a similar trim. I clip all the black areas and leave the tan basically. I don't trim anything on her legs or feet (except the pad hair underneath) with the clippers. I do however use scissors to round the feet so she doesn't have, what i like to call, "who feet" (you know the who's from who-ville, LOL). Take your scissors and hold them at a 45 degree angle between the table and her paws. then just scissor in a circle around her paw. it cleans the look up better then clippers can.
