My Murphy has never been clipped, I have managed him myself so far but he was very very matted after a trip walking in Scotland mainly the legs and I had to clip a fair bit as he was distressed by detangling and he is usually good about it.
Any way, now he looks like he has stick legs and a fat body (tho not fat just hairy) and I have decided to go for a 'sympathetic clip'. One of the grooming salons in Hove (a shop) which I attended before are clipper happy even when instructed not to and last time I walked out with out grooming being done at all as they were suggesting the entire dog needed to be shaved including feathers (which was rubbish - I sorted his coat myself in the end). I won't bitch more about them but I wouldn't go back.
Does anyone know if there is there any one who can clip in my area so the dog doesn't end up like a sheep. he is very handsome and I fear I have ruined his good looks
. I am happy to travel within reason.
