Okay, I'm a newbie as well. Zeus is my first pet ever, and I'm in my late 40's. Here's what little info I can give you. The groomers wouldn't cut him until he was 7 months old, because he had not "blown his puppy hair." The groomer said if you cut their puppy hair before they "blow it," it can mess with the texture and color. Therefore, all we did was around his privates, eyes, and paws. We like the long hair on the tops of his ears and across the top of the eyes. Now that he is 7 months old, we decided to cut his hair ourselves. Both me and my husband cut our own hair (never have found anybody we're happy with), so we felt comfortable. What we did is cut his entire body short (we live in the south and it's getting hot), left his head long and his legs semi-long. This one is called the Teddy Bear cut. We found a Youtube video that showed us how to do it. We are very happy with it. Good luck. |
