Putting a clipper over his very thin hair might make him look shaved. So you'll want to ask for a #4 blade cut or even longer. Also bc his leg hairs are so sparse right now, it won't look like the Joey cut. I'm just being honest & want you to 'see' the outcome of the cut you are envisioning for him. I'm sure he will grow a fuller coat since you've got his allergies in check  & he will have lovely full hair on him soon. |
Thanks Jenny, I know he won't get the full Joey effect cos of his thin coat, I was thinking of shaving almost to his ankle and trimming his paws so the will sort of look like little boots?
It does get pretty cold here but Alfie is always quite hot (we think because of his allergies) we live right beside a park and take him there every day where he would run until he fell asleep standing up if we let him. Cold definitely doesn't seem to bother him.
His new winter coats are on the way, I adore this one and the little munchkin wearing it. We have had a mild summer and think winter will be pretty mild too.

In your experience does shaving have any benefits for better regrowth?
Thanks again everybody for your help.
