| To cut or not to cut? Okay I've been debating on whether I should shave the tips of Gabby's ears. I'm confused I really love the hair on her ears but I also love clean cut look too. Help me out?!?! Whatcha think! Here's a pic of her and her brother Timmy. |

| No need to shave her ears, instead I would just trim with scissors, just the tip - point like - I would do just 1/2 inch down each side, and leave the rest to waterfall down |

| In show they shave 1/3 of the way down. I always thought their ears look much larger with hair on them, but it's just a personal prefrence.

| That's exactly what I would do with her. She's absolutely adorable now, but I think you would really like it if just the little tips were sticking out. Please post a picture after you trim...that is if you decide to!

| Okay I'm gonna try it! I'll do the scissors instead of shaving it with the clippers. I really do love the hair on her ears but I also want that clean look. Her ears are not that big either...its just the hair I was also thinking that eventually the hair will weigh down the ears...is this correct? |
