I used to love a top knot but once I've had smooth down the top 1/3 of their ears I prefer the whole expression. You could always have smooth and grow it out
On the basis it can always grow out.....the clippers have been out......on their longest setting just in case
and the stripping knife......so that's it, Pearl now has no top knot
Have to say she didn't like it happening but seems much happier with no hair dangling in her eyes......
I'm giving her a break for the rest of the day but will start again tomorrow with the thinning scissors to even it up a bit and will post a photo once I'm happy with the result [which may be the weekend after an emergency trip to the groomers
