He already looks much better Feels better too – but it sure was funny getting to this point
I do my son’s hair all the time, sure you don’t want a little off the sides
He’s so funny. His tail curves up, and when he’s shaved, he can feel it on his back, so he’s constantly whipping around to see what’s behind him. Then he starts chasing it. What a goof.
When my rough collies became old I shaved them twice a year. Talk about relief!! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a shaven retriever but the principle would be the same…
I remember Tamitha Freemen. Harvey says: “She’s got beautiful puppies”.
"Lord, keep our servicemen and women safe, whether they serve at home or overseas. Hold them and their families in your loving hands and protect them as they protect us."

Awww… what a cutie… love the cut!

LOL – she’ll wanna go out on the town and show off her new style once you’re done.

…or cower at home, ashamed of her nekkidness!

I’m waiting for pictures…I’ll show them to our doxie and threaten her with the same treatment if she doesn’t behave.

…but Gabby’s a smoothie! What would you shave?

Damn thing caught a squirrel this morning…so she has a reprieve.
But hair is hair, short or long, and I’d shave a design somehow…like a brain with a line through it.

I want to shave my golden retriever but my husband won’t let me. Prevents shedding.

I can’t wait for the pictures!

I’ll have to do a step-by-step. Unless she bites me. Then a step-by-ER-step.
5. May 2010 at 8:57 am
do it in sections
5. May 2010 at 9:40 am
She’s so small it wouldn’t take long, but I will be taking breaks so she doesn’t get tired… but yeah, I’ll do it like you did Rolo’s…

You aren’t going to shave her bald, are you. Poor thing would look like a giant rat.

Thanks for the visual, but no. She’ll still have hair.
