Thanks Jenny, I know he won't get the full Joey effect cos of his thin coat, I was thinking of shaving almost to his ankle and trimming his paws so the will sort of look like little boots? It does get pretty cold here but Alfie is always quite hot (we think because of his allergies) we live right beside a park and take him there every day where he would run until he fell asleep standing up if we let him. Cold definitely doesn't seem to bother him. His new winter coats are on the way, I adore this one and the little munchkin wearing it. We have had a mild summer and think winter will be pretty mild too. Puppy Angel Waterproof Padded Dog Vest in White | Pettecoats In your experience does shaving have any benefits for better regrowth? Thanks again everybody for your help.

From my personal experience, once I shaved off their hair w/a clipper, it never grew back the same. Their hair grew in thicker, so it might actually be better for Alphie. The hair growth is different for every pup...Mimi's hair takes 4ever to grow, it's silky. While Momo is a puff ball in a month lolll.

| How old is Alfie? Tiki had very thin silky hair for the first year or two, and I was worried that she wouldn't have enough fluff on the legs to look good in a Joey, plus she was really long and thin. I was thrilled that her hair thickened up, and she filled out a little, after about 2 years, and I will never have her hair any other way. It's great. Too bad I haven't taken & posted pictures in a looonnng time.

| Hi, just wanted to wish you and Alfie the best of luck at his allergy testing appointment. I know it's not for another while but when it does come around I hope it all goes well |

I will take your advice on board and discuss with the groomer, he is booked in for the week before the testing. I think they are supposed to be pretty good, I will have to take his own shampoo for them to use and tell them not to use a dryer, we always let him air dry only takes about 3 minutes cos of his coat.

| I bet you will really enjoy it. A few other benefits, I think they look so cute and clean with this cut, and as soft as velvet. It makes them look smaller, which also to me makes them look more like a baby, and with fewer straggley, tangled hairs. Maintenance is a breeze. My Yorkie and 2 of my Morkies who all had thin silky hair as pups, have grown much nicer coats around 2 years old, and after having this cut. (My other Morkie is cottony and this cut works great for her, as I used to have to brush her twice a day) I go extra short on the shaved parts, with an Oster #10 blade, after finding the #7F to leave them a little choppy. Others may vary.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Update on Alfie's new Do. So he got his first grooming last Wednesday but I forgot to update, this was about an hour after we left the groomers, he was sooo cute right after his cut for about five whole minutes, Attachment 392523
