I think a lot of first time owners of long haired dogs run into the same issues. They don't really seem to need to be combed everyday when they are puppies but that is really when they need it because they have to learn to accept being groomed from a very early age. Even a pup that is going to be kept shaved all it's life needs to be calm and under control when it goes to the groomer. If someone takes a puppy to the groomer that has not been groomed on a regular basis the poor thing is going to freak out.
I think once you get going with the comb and get out any tangles you will be good to go. Once she accepts the regular grooming she will be one gorgeous glamor girl. A groomer would have no excuse for shaving a baby that has no tangles. It doesn't sound like your little girl had much to begin with.
