What a Pleasant Surprise ♥

[Daelene & Molly]

We brought Molly in for her monthly grooming (I have not attempted it yet because I am so afraid I will hurt her) with a bit of a twist.  Molly's puppy coat kept getting longer and thicker that brushing her was becoming more of a chore for both me and her.  I asked Julie to cut her down to 1" on the body and 1 1/4" on the legs and head, leaving the tail as is.  I LOVE her new doo.  Her coat is so soft, it feels like velour, and instead of long wild hair it is very wavy and close to her body.  I read somewhere here about trimming down this short and I just wanted to thank whoever posted it.  I think this will help with the transition of her adult coat coming in and will keep her cool during the summer months.

She looks great!

Thanks, I was a bit nervous at first but am so glad that we took the plunge :)

I love Molly's new do.  That is the PERFECT cut and length.  I know you are so happy with it...and you can't 'stop touching her!!

[Daelene & Molly]

So true, and the brushing is more like a massage for her now. LOL  She loves it too.

Molly is soo cute.  Did you have a treat in your hand when you took the picture of her?  She is looking up like she is expecting something.

[Daelene & Molly]

Thanks Pam.  Molly is always expecting her kibble, but no.  My DH had the camera while I put her in a sit stay position, she was waiting for her release.

Great cut!  She looks super.  I came home from the East Coast to find my ALD with about the same cut.  He looks cute, but the idea of cording him has been moved back.  My DH just couldn't resist trimming him up. 

[Daelene & Molly]

Thank you Lynda.  BTW what is cording?  I have heard that term but unsure of the meaning.

[Lynda Kamrath]

I guess it is best described as dreadlocks for dogs.  The ALDs apparently have a good coat to be corded.  Pulis and standard poodles are two breeds that are frequently corded.

It must look amazing when it is done all over the body.  I will have to search to see what it looks like.  Thanks.

I know! Willow is so cute with her 1" cut. We are all happy about it.

[Daelene & Molly]

Was Willow's hair the same?  It really was a job to brush it out constantly.  Do they look the same?  I love that we can compare our girls together.  Have you had any luck with any other litter mates?
