bangs???

[paulapoo]

I trim Otis's bangs. He was sitting outside the other day and I noticed he looked like the sheepdog that sits on top of the cliff in the old school road runner/bugs bunny cartoons! He needed a trim!!! He's just not a "full coat" kind of boy. He doesn't tolerate brushing and trimming very well. It's easier and cooler for him to keep him short!

I cut Pixie's myself. She has never been to a groomer her coat is so easy to care for,

When you cut bangs do you just hold hair up and cut what is right over eyes, or do you cut between the eyes too. I am worried about cutting them and they not standing up.

My husband and I went on a weekend get-a-way. While we were out, my inlaws were dog sitting. My father inlaw decided that Nomi's hair was too far in her face, so he cut her bangs! The two pictures are her without a bow, the third is how she looks with a bow and bangs on the side. We are trying to grow them back out again because it is hard to get a bow in her hair now.

So would you say to not do the bangs. I guess if you do you must keep them short.

Teddy has bangs but his are long and in the way of his eyes so he can't really see.

well, i cut her some bangs. not much, just took a small bit and cut them. she is getting a bath tonight and I will post pictures. I think I really like them!! Even with her hair back, it looks kinda cute. but with her hair down...it is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better! we are training her hair to fall "back" instead of going straight forward and into her face and the bangs are really helping. she can see!!!!!!!!!

i'll post pics once she is dried from her bath.

oh...and i cut them with thinning shears so that it wasn't just a straight line on top of her head, it gave it more of a jagged look.

I am trying to get maggies hair on top get long. I've never cut it but its so soft and silky I cant keep a bow in it without a band and now I feel like it hasnt grown that long or thick because the bands I think are breaking off her hair. So now I'm refusing to put a band in it and just let it hang. I've finally got a few little hair clasp that I can keep in it for a while if I put a clip or something behind it. anyway, its just gonna have to be over her eyes for a while until it thickens up or gets longer which is has gotten longer but seems like its breaking off to me and now it seems shorter than it did for a while.

Mojo had the "visor" cut or bangs done before....I have been letting them grow out though because I want all of his top hair to be able to be pulled back. Bangs are cute and helps keep the hair out of their eyes, but I probably won't have that cut again for awhile.

I went through the same thing with Scampers. His hair was silky on his head and I would put it up in topknot. But the bands were breaking his hair and just did so much damage that it looked horrible where you could see the band was placed. But yet I hated his hair hanging in his face so this weekend I decided to give him bangs. And now I love it, I can see his beautiful face all the time now and not have to worry about putting bands in that break the hair, and he really loves his new haircut. But I would still like to grow it out again because I love the topknot, so you can say we are starting over.
I wonder what the show people do to keep the hair from breaking? Do they just have their hair wrapped until the day of the show?

I'd be so upset if my father-in-law / dog-sitter cut Sukoshi's hair while we were away! What was he thinking?!?!?

[Anna Banana]

It seems like you can't have bangs and also put up the hair in a bow, right?

I am anxious to see your pictures. Zoey does not get her stitches out until wed. so I am not doing anything until she can have a bath.
