THANKS!! We are really proud of her ... we think she does her "ancestors" justice!
Even if she can't make the "show circuit" we show her off all the time!
The only parts of her coat that our groomer trims is the upper 1/3 of her ears, between the pads on her feet, rounds the paws and trims her rear [to try to keep her poop out of the hair]. We are waiting until she finishes "growing her coat" before we decide how we will have her groomed. Our breeder told us that the ears need to be kept trimmed because if the hair grows long it will pull down on her ears and keeping her foot pads trimmed keeps her from sliding on slick surfaces and avoiding possible injury to her little knees. My husband usually takes her to be groomed and sits with her while it's done ... we don't like her out of our sight and she doesn't like it if one of us isn't around her all the time!
We hope she stays the color she is but she is beginning to show signs that it may change as she gets older ... like it really matters to us ... we don't care if she turns purple and weighs 50 lbs!!!
We are so foolish about her it's sickening!!!
