How cute! We're avid boaters too! Dixie has a cute pink life jacket with polka dots, she doesn't mind it either.

About the hair...Dixie had the puppy cut when I got her (14 wks.) and I let it grow. When the weather started turning colder I put sweaters on her. This caused the long hair to knot. So, I cut her hair off. It was WAY too short for me at first, but its been a few weeks since her last groom and I love the length now. It's SO much easier to take care of!

mickey gets a hair cut twice a year
once in may then october
so around winter months his hair is longer but not super long
it keeps him warm since its sooo cold in the winter

Yup both my boys are in a puppy cut. They are 3 years old. I tried to grow it out but one boy matts up soo bad and the other one pees on his hair when its long. I bought some clippers at Rite Aid and do it myself now so that I can save some money since they do need to get groomed more often.

Chopper gets a puppy cut and it is definitely easier when he goes out in the snow. He would probably be warmer in the winter with longer hair, but he looks so much cuter with a puppy cut.

puppy cut here too... I do the grooming myself but,still makes things easier for me...

Suzi has been in a puppy cut too. i agree that it is so much easier to keep her clean! Toay she had leaves stuck on her coat! She was also muddy too. I had to bathe her, and clean her up . She needs anther groom again !
