| Shave their butts? (Grooming Question) When we had Riley groomed awhile back, the groomer shaved his butt. We thought it looked really funny and would never intentionally have it done, but now, I think maybe we should have TJ's butt shaved. TJ has had like 3-4 1/2 baths in the past week because if his poo isn't completely solid, it gets stuck to his butt and his butt hair so their is no way to clean him up without having what I like to call a "butt-bath" Do any of you shave their butts? What else can I do other than making my baby go bare-bottom? |

| I would not say "shaved", but its a sanitary clip, the "southern" hair is cut very short. Makes it easy for all, pup and mama! Chelsea'sMom |

| I keep the private areas of my two yorkie's cut some, too. But not shaved. I don't like dingle-berries and I've had lots of experience from when we had a Pekingnese. |

| I clip Gus's private and butt areas myself with my husbands clippers. Gus has his own attachment (#2) and I keep it seperated from the other attachments so that Tim doesn't use it an accident.

| I'm getting to give Mollie her first clipping and trimming the butt is one thing I was told to make sure I do. It helps to prevent anything "hanging on". |

| I tried to take a picture of Esme's bottom for you, but she didn't like it! Her bottom is shaved and it keeps her clean.

LoveMyBaby, I know exactly how you feel. TJ will not tolerate me pulling anything out of his butt hair so what I do is I put a little watter in the bathtub (enough to cover his butt) and I make him sit in the water and soak. That usually takes most of it off and than I shampoo his butt. It's a real pain so I plan on shaving/clipping his behind hair real soon! Thanks again everyone for the replies!! | |
