I only clip their body, the black part. Leave the tan on their legs and tail and head to grow. Since I have six, I play with different things. I cut Robyn real short on her body just to see how little she is. She still has the little black tips on the hair that hangs out in front of her face. I do think it makes their hair more managable to get the baby hair off - it seems to have more of a tangle problem at the change stage and looks more scruffy. I don't know if anyone leaves the baby hair, but I have clipped all of mine at least once down to finger length with scissors. I hold my hand upside down with the hair between my fingers and clip that length. It sorta makes a puppy cut. Then trim just below their eye, the piece that goes up in front of eyes, from bottom out about1/2" shaved, brush ear hair down and trim up ears 1/3 of ear. |
