Definitely don't trim the paws, only the nails
Quote from: russ-g on October 17, 2022, 02:05:31 PMDefinitely don't trim the paws, only the nails Your boy is still young Give it a few more months and he will have gruffalo paws hair sprouting from between the toes It helps in winter to keep them trimmed as it stops them bringing so much dirt into the house.I was told by a groomer to use clippers as my hands are not too steady and she said there is thus a chance of cutting the skin. At least with clippers they do have a guard on to prevent nicking the skin.

He is now 6 months old and he used to have a lovely smooth coat and short hair on his legs and paws. Now he looks like a little yeti or a stuffed toy that is losing its filling Hair sprouting upwards from in between his toes. The lovely smooth chocolate coat is now tufted with puppy fluff that has an ginger tint to it. He is my fourth cocker so I know this is just a phase but he does look a bit of a mess We all learn from experience. When I got my first two girls spayed I was so pleased that they had somehow escaped the dreaded woolly bear coat that most neutered solid cockers get. Roll on 18 months and I realised they hadn’t escaped the curse after all
