    Shave Him

    Shave him may not have been the best choice of words to use when I brought my cocker spaniel to the groomer.

    LOL. After working at a groom shop for a few years I can safely say that yah.. you need to be fairly specific most of the time, but thats still alittle over the top unless he/she was pretty matted.

    They asked if I wanted a cocker cut, puppy cut or a shave.
    I said shave him down.
    Not gonna say that next time.

    LOL.. Yah, proper response is probably the cocker cut. Unless you just want him short an fluffy, then puppy cut is good. Sometimes the cocker skirt is a pain if you dont have the time to brush it daily and theres anything remotely resembling burrs in your local foliage. -.-

    Re: Shave Him

    He looks good to me. In the shop I work at, he'd have been shorter than that even. We tend to shave down a ton of dogs this time of year, but from the picture of before, he didn't look to have a ton of coat to begin with. So I'd guess he wasn't matted or overly thick.

    But yeah.. you say shave him.. you get a clipped down dog. Gotta tell the groomer what you want, cause we aren't mind readers.

    Wow, that is a big difference seeing what he looked like before. He still looks good though and atleast it will grow back
