Halas' New 'Do

[Leslie and Halas]

I decided to get Halas' hair cut short. I like the way it turned out. His legs need to grow out a little bit, but they had to be cut pretty short last time, so that's a work in process. I'm going to miss the long coat a little bit, but I won't miss the brushing time, and I'm sure Halas won't either. I could spend 90 minutes brushing him at night, and a new mat would show up overnight that would take another 20 minutes to get rid of. It just became really difficult to keep up with, and uncomfortable for Halas, since I guess I'm not the most gentle brusher. This will let us use more of our free time for swimming and flyball instead of grooming. He's super soft now. He also looks skinny now, closer to his actual weight.

This one is before...

And all of the rest are after...

He looks like he feels cooler. I love his new cut, you did a great job.

[Karen P]

Awww, so cute. Your fur looks like velvet Halas!

[Susan]

He looks great! (Of course I am partial because this is the length I like to keep Marlow.) Halas color is beautiful and shows up so vibrant now!

[Amanda and Quinn]

He looks fabulous! I'm always relieved when Quinn gets a short haircut, because when it gets really long people think he's a fatty. :)

[Carole (*Koda*Monty*Bindi)]

I love it! His coat looks so rich!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Great job .... he has to feel better, and well you do to if you don't have all that brushing to do!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Oh Halas you really are such a handsome Dood! I love your "new do".

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Halas! Where'd you go, and who's this impostor at your house?
I think he looks great, Les. You can see his beautiful face better now, too!

[F, Calla & Luca]

He does look great!

[Kathy Spyker]

You look so nice and soft. I know you'll enjoy your summer cut.
