Yes on the Micro chipping!!! You can take care of this when you get him neutered. The needle is pretty thick and it goes in between the shoulder blades, so it can be a little painful. I've see dogs have panic attacks and some who don’t even flinch- it depends on the dog however it is best to get it done while they are under anesthesia.
Grooming really depends on you. If you want him in a long coat, shaggy coat, shaved, trimmed.. etc. I would wait until he has all vaccines.
Most groomer won’t even allow dogs in there that aren't up to date on shots.
We get Peanut shaved in the hot months, and we will usually let him grow out shaggy for the colder months. I think this year I may keep him groomed- not sure.. depending on how cold it gets LOL Since I live in Cali we don’t really see cold winters!
