I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way. Private groomers are so much safer, but of course they aren't fail-safe, either. I've had a good private groomer that has her own shop and no one else in it. His hair will grow out, but I know that is no consolation. Their hair grows maybe a half-inch a month, so he should have hair for winter. There have been a lot of threads started on here about that place. You can put some cute t-shirts on him in the meantime. You are probably right about his self-confidence. I've seen others that would go hide under a bed after they were sheared. I guess they were embarrassed. Good luck in the future.
