Bentley has a short muzzle also. He has never had a natural part either. It's beginning to lay somewhat flat but still sticks up a bit. Think ill try a bit of Vaseline to train it to lay flat. You're right though. Gonna have to "arrrgggghhhh...!" My way through it. Hahaha! I also disagreed with the vet saying that but still felt guilty. Like he thought I just don't groom him. It seems like people that don't know much about the breed tend to give me that look. Especially about his muzzle hair. So many people think you HAVE to cut it. I cut my bangs short recently and I can relate with Bentley. Haha! It's annoying but it'll get there
I groom him myself bc I think I'd have a heart attack if I took him and they cut his nose hair into a fan. That happened once before while I was trying to grow it. I was so upset that I decided to stay grooming him myself. And now with many more months into it than that time, I know I'd freak out. Haha!
