When we groom the boyz we trim it kind of short but we still leave enough there for direction and we never have wet skirts to deal with.
Good tip! I just trimmed Ben the other day. As I started to trim this area short, the logic of leaving a little to direct the stream away from him occurred to me. Thankfully I thought of it just before I snipped. Not only that but it gives a little less worry that you will trim too close to something you shouldn't.

A baby wipe at least once a day seems to keep Ben smelling fine. I get more problem from them chewing all over each other in their play fighting. Puppy slobber gets stinky in the fur!
