I also like the modified Schnauzer cut . . I normally will leave skirt and shave the tail but just a few weeks ago I decided to try a much cooler summer cut and shaved off her floor length skirt . . !!! I as a bit hesitant at first because she has such a pretty cotton coat and I thought that is would ruin her but nope.... is looks great and it is much cooler for her. Oh and now her hair doesn't get tangles up when I put her dresses on so that a bonus.
Here is the latest pic that I have of Ruby in her new skirt less cut !
