The whole coat, or just the part that hangs down on her sides? I don't think I'd be comfy doing it myself since I've never done it before, perhaps taking her to a groomer for the first time and seeing if they can show me how to do it would be best. Does this really help them to grow their coat out better and stronger? How much do you think should be trimmed off?
I think Gemy meant just snipping the ends of the hair. After reading her reminder this morning, I did Max's hair because I have been negligent in doing it. Snipping the tips fights off the damaging effects of split ends. Keeps the hair stronger.

It's like human hair. Even if you have really long hair, all one length, you should have the ends snipped once a month to keep the hair shafts from fraying.
