I am a little torn as to how to get her cut. I really want the hair around the face trimmed nicely but am just unsure as to how I want it all cut. I think I want to go short on the body to try and get rid of some of the puppy hair. any suggestions???

I have Max cut in a "Westie" cut (kind of..that's how it started, but then I started getting his body cut REALLY short....he's smooth like a little seal most of the time)....at least his face...it's sort of a "puppy cut" but a little cuter I think. I know they use a #10 blade on his body...the rest I have no idea about, but I know about the body b/c once they didn't cut it short enough (it's VERY hot here in the summer) and they questioned me about taking the coat down that far, saying that skin would be showing thru...but his skin does not show thru and it's so easy to bathe him and dry him! And he looks pretty cute, I think (and I'm not the least bit biased, LOL).

Great post. I'm a big believer in intuition. If you don't feel comfortable w/the groomer you shouldn't be going there. I trust that my pups are sweet stable and have the ability to be w/new people -- I also trust in my groomer and my pups come out giving him kisses when they're done
