I was thinking he looks like the groomer just cut out the matted areas and that is why some is longer than others. It does look like he thinned it.
Did you tell them you wanted to keep the length? If you did, then they just cut out the mats. You might like it better if he was evenly cut, even if it was shorter. It will eventually grow.
The puppy hair is different though, and would eventually be cut off. Did you look at my album of Maggie? Her puppy hair is so different from her current hair. It can take a year or more to finish changing colors.
Shorter hair is easier to keep clean and keep an eye on for ticks. There is debate over whether short hair is cooler for them in the summer, but my girl gets so hot when it's warm that I think the short harcut has too help.
Maybe get him cut shorter ( so it's more even and less shaggy looking) when it starts to heat up, and then you can let it grow from there and decide what you like. We go to Petsmart (NEVER a problem) and she gets it cut to what they call a 4, they have 2 sample rugs to show the lengths. 4 is the longest on the short board. SOmetimes she gets a 5 in the winter, which is just a little longer and is the shortest on their Long sample board.
Also, be sure to tell them if you want the ear hair long or tipped like a yorkie. I also tell them to leave the hair on her tail longer because her stub is so short. With hair on it you can actually tell she has a tail.
He's a cutie and eventually you'll find a style for him that you like. |
