My pup is almost six weeks old and has a very short puppy cut right now. He had terrible puppy hair --- thin, oily, couldn't get a comb through it, etc. etc.
So - he has been trimmed several times -- his terrible puppy hair is nearly all gone and his new coat is a beautful silver and light tan. It is soft, silky, and easy to comb - and it is thicker and not oily anymore. I couldn't comb him at all before and now he never has a tangle anywhere. It never matts at all.
Now that he has better, thicker hair comin in - we are ready to let it start growing. The hair that grows out now will be much nicer - thicker and easier to manage.
I personally think the answer for some pups is just keep them short for the first few months until you have better hair to work with it - and then let it start growing. This can make all the difference in the world.
