Puppy cut

I think Ruby's hair is looking pretty perfect today. She went to the groomer's a month ago and I found that it was a little too short. Now it is just right. But some matts are starting to form in her armpits which takes time to comb out so I will probably bring her to the groomer for a trim in two weeks. So I need to enjoy this in between moment of perfection!

It reminds me of when I had bangs in my own hair, they were always too short for the first two weeks, just right in the middle two weeks, and too long in the last two weeks. Attempts to trim them at home were always regretted.:laugh2:

PERFECT!!!! Tucker went yesterday. We did not have his body cut (couldn't bear losing the black tips) but his feet, face and sanitary areas were clipped. Not sure when we will cut his body but it won't be long. Thanks for the great picture. I am going to save that for reference to show our groomer. :smile2:

Ha! I SO inderstand about the bangs... I HATE having my bangs get in my eyes, so sometimes I end up doing a little trim at home about a week or two before my next hair appointment. My hairdresser just shakers her head! ;)

I also understand about the puppy cut. Pixel looks ADORABE right now... 6 weeks after I first cut her... Which means I took much too much off the first time. But how long to wait until I do it again? I did just trim her face and ears a bit the other day. I know some people like long ears with a puppy cut, but I think short(ish) ears make them look more puppyish. And they realy frame her face and call arrention to her gorgeous eyes.

I agree that keeping the ears shorter is very cute. I think you can make a mistake cutting the beard and the legs too short but the ears seem a safe spot to experiment with a shorter trim.

YES that is a perfect length! Adorable! Wish we could stop the growing and just turn it on when we want to. :) Ruby you are sooo stinking cute! Such a beautiful color too.

Sophie also has the 8 ft long legs right now LOL but that is largely from having to cut so short since I had been chopping mats. Groomer says 2-3 more trims and we should have her looking good I guess I was a little too scissor happy :D

It's the perfect length! I'm having a hard time finding a groomer who will just use the scissors over the whole body. They all seem to use the clippers and if I want the longest length, they told me they use the clippers that leave about 1 1/2" inches in length which is the E size.

Rudy just got another haircut. We decided to keep him in a puppycut too. We also like when it starts to grow out and get fluffy. His hair length is about 1 1/2 inches. It's easier to keep on top of the mats. He also had an upset stomach last week and was a mess down there. So now he's nice and clean. [emoji1][emoji177][emoji1] I'll try to upload a picture.

Ruby looks awfully cute! 😊 I would think the eyelashes would grow back slowly. I would never leave my dog at the groomers because of all the not good experiences I had with Sparky. I would think it would be easy to forget requests when it gets busy.
