I use Pantene conditioner on Presley and I did on Jingle his whole life and I found it works really well too!

I'm real simple. Classic Clean and Classic Conditioner.

hi guys- my update is-I took her to my groomer (who I adore) but he cut her soooo short. Head to toe. shaved her. I guess I wasn't clear enough in my request of exactly what I was requesting (body trimmed and just face shorter). But now my main question is, how long will it take to grow back? Winter is coming and I am a little sad that she is shaven. Plus I do not like how short he did her face

I know this is not a huge deal because she is wonderful and healthy, but looking for a little support. thanks.

Gonna take a while to grow back in. Maybe you want to invest in a couple of coats and jackets. Wonder why the groomer shaved her with winter coming on.
It sure is easier to keep them neat with short hair tho'

The only thing I can think of is that he misunderstood me

it's a bit upsetting. A while like how long? Six months? Just in time for summer lol

I'm so sorry your groomer misunderstood how you wanted Ella's hair cut. It happened to me years ago, and it's very upsetting. The good news is that the hair usually grows in nicer once it has been shaved. My Katie is bigger than your baby,

probably about ten inches tall. It really depends also on whether Ella has a silky or more cottony coat. Katie's hair is silky, which takes longer to grow, but it is unusually thick for a silk coat. I live fairly close to you, and Katie is much too hot in the summer with her hair long. She is so much happier with her hair shorter, so I cut her hair, and even in the winter she does better. She has a few cashmere sweaters that keep her warm on our long walks, and her jackets and coats are made for winters in Finland. Sometimes when the temperature is well below freezing, I layer a cashmere sweater under her coats. She is definitely warm enough, even for walks that are two to three miles in weather I find really cold. I'm posting from my iPad, which only allows one photo to post, so I will have to post my photos separately which will show how much hair grew when Katie's flank was shaved.

This first photo was taken the weekend she just joined our family. She was with her breeder for her first three years. Her other mom gave her this haircut before she left. It was taken Mother's Day weekend 2012.

This was taken three months later in August of that same year.

This is Katie six months after her hair was cut. You can see the shorter hair blending in with the longer hair.

lisaly · 10-31-2015, 08:09 PM

This was after one year. Right after that, I cut her hair. It was beautiful, but Katie was always hot, even with air conditioning. Even the heat makes Katie too hot, and she was having trouble sleeping on the bed because of it. Once we cut her hair, she loves to cuddle. Katie is also a very active little girl who loves to run and fetch, and she will run into bushes to retrieve her ball, if need be. Months after Hurricane Sandy, Katie constantly had leaves and stickies stuck to her hair after playing. I wish I could keep Katie's hair long, but I know my little girl is so much happier without all of her thick hair. I'm not sure why her breeder kept her hair long after she finished her championship at fifteen months, but she still had her show coat at 2.5 years. I know Katie is much happier without as much grooming. Although she's very good when being groomed and pretty much all of the time, I know she's' not crazy about it. It's all about Kate and what makes her happy. I think she's beautiful, whether her hair is long or short, and she's even cuter with the shorter hair. I'm sure Ella is beautiful in her new haircut.

Katie's long hair before she came to us at three years old. She is 2.5 years old here.

lisaly · 10-31-2015, 08:36 PM

Here is one last photo, which was taken four months after I cut Katie's hair in May 2013. This photo was taken early October 2013. You can see that she's fluffy by now, and Ella will probably be more so if her hair is different from Katie's and also because she's smaller than my little girl. Your Ella is a little doll!

kalega · 10-31-2015, 09:07 PM

I have another take on the trim. Is it possible there were some tangles close to the skin? My Pepper has a cottony coat and during one of his early groomings the groomer cut him pretty short. She said it was because there were some mats close to the skin and once they were cut out she had to even it up. Otherwise he would have looked chopped up. Now I know I can't let him get too long - plus I am not the most conscientious when it comes to brushing.
