| Turbo is beautiful in his summer cut! LOL, cowlick. Max's beard is about the same length right now and is proving harder to care for than his longer beard. Teddy does great with a shorter beard, but Max was meant to be longer, I guess. Wish I could send my boys to you. They are growing hairier underneath with age and require more trimming. The problem is that we are all new to trimming the undercarriage, so we are finding it very challenging. What is your method? Do your babies roll over for you, or do you hold them in a standing position?

| Thank you everyone! I am loving his low maintenance hair style...he seems more comfy bc it's getting hot here. Quote:
For their under chest/tummy hairs, are the boys still in full length coat on the body? Then you'll want to save the front chest hair, to give the illusion of a flowing coat. Lift up that section & w/scissors, just trim up the inside. Under the chest & tummy area. It works best when they're standing on the table but if they're more comfy on your lap, on their back, you can trim it like that too. What ever works loll.

The boys still have their coats. Wish I could tattoo a line across their chest of where to cut to preserve the chest hair, LOL!

| I trim my two on their bellies so that they are cleaner. Couver is especially important because he gets smelly if I don't keep his belly hair short. I roll them on their backs in my lap and use the trimmers. They both let me shave their bellies and it keeps them a lot cleaner! If I were to draw a line (on the boys), I would say look at where their rib cage meets in the middle and stop there if you want them to have the flowy look but have tidy tummies.

| So cute. Toto has a similar look right now too. Did you shave Turbo down on his body? I could not keep Toto clean when he was in full coat. I even trimmed his undercarriage but it was too much work, and he has SO much hair it was taking way too long to groom him. Plus he's always hot and panting so he has the "Joey" now. Like Maximo, Toto's shorter bear somehow gets dirtier than his floor grazing beard. Always gets stuck in his mouth. Kristin, I do shave Toto on his undercarriage, and before when he was in full coat I used the metal hair slips that hairdressers use when they cut our hair to hold up the section I didn't want to cut. They hold up a decent amount of hair. When I do his undercarriage he stands for me, and when I get to that flappy chicken skin part near the hips I spread it flat with my hand and shave with the other. Last thing I need to do is nick him, then he will never trust me again with the shavers.

How do you trim around the wee wee? M&T's hair is getting quite thick. We always cut for length, but I am afraid to shave around the tiny base. For such big boys, they have surprisingly tiny boy parts.

| Actually Toto doesn't have a ton of hair by his wee wee. I do trim his pee string though. He does get a lot of little mats on his inner thighs. I just cut off a bunch of them today before his bath.
