Glad to hear he is looking and feeling good. Take your time trying to find the right groomer. My groomer specializes in small breed dogs. She is great. She shows Shih Tzu's so she knows how to handle a long coat. She also is very glad to do just what I ask her.
Gracie's coat is not thick so cutting it is not really necessary in order to keep her cool. I did let the groomer trim her belly and cut her length to just bellow her belly. Hopefully it will grow back by the time it starts getting cooler here.
I also trim the fur just in the inner corner of the eye. I only take her to the groomer about every 3 to 4 months to even up her ends and basically make her look gorgeous. The groomer says she is so much easier to do because she has that silky, single layer coat unlike her Shih Tzu's. |
