Since Columbo HATES to be brushed, combed & groomed, I've settled on a short haircut for his body from the neck down, and a longer haired, yorkie looking head. I keep it really short in the summer when it's hot and humid here. In winter, I let it grow to maybe 1 1/2" for extra warmth. Like Joel, Columbo's hair starts matting as it grows longer than that. If I trim him BEFORE the matting starts, it's much easier than waiting until we get to that point. |
