I am in Texas - we have had the blistering 85-90 degree days the past week. I am using what I think is called a Westie cut. I started clipping them myself when I was disappointed with the groomer skipping their bellies. I got a $7 electric clipper and it would not go through their hair, took it back and got the bohl for $20, and it is a breeze. The first three times, it was difficult until I figured out the cut I like. I leave their head and legs long and shave the body rater short. It makes them so soft (not like a boys burr) Brushing and cleanup are a breeze. We also have a pool and when they were wet with long hair, they would run into the yard and get horribly messy trying to dry off on the grass. They don't like the clippers or the brush, and the clippers are much quicker - need to be done less often. |
