No - you don't have to cut it off so that more hair will come in. We were just saying that our pup's first hair (puppy hair) was so terrible that we needed to get rid of it. We couldn't even comb it... and, then after cutting it off, the newer hair was much nicer.
If your dog's puppy hair is nice and easy to comb - you can just let it keep on growing and then only trim it when you feel it is necessary - perhaps just to keep it looking neater, at times.
**** This may be a consideration - you know how baby's hair is often finer and of a different texture - if this is so and you notice the newer hair coming in has a different stronger texture, you may want to just trim the ends eventually.
Also - my pup's first hair was black - and his new hair that quickly grew in is silver. So, the black has been cut off (which would only be at the ends now - if I had left it there.)
If you have easy to manage hair - you can trim however much and whenever you want....
