Its ok for you he has to go and see his mates looking like that. He will have to wear a hat coat and balaclava until it grows back  ph34r    :lol2: :lol2:

Have you been having lessons from Chris while he's away in Egypt  :005:

Diesel fine, hair will grow quickly.  :luv:

Personally prefer puppy trim of feet and top knot until adult coat comes in.

Hi,

I think you have a beautiful baby boy .....  bit like my Alf but with a little less black.

We keep Alf legs feathered a bit and always looks like Shaun the Sheep after a clip but a week later back to his scruffy self.  You will see by the below it always grows back

This is Alf at 11 months when we rescued him - never been clipped

Alf on holiday after his clip a couple of weeks after clip

He is a gorgeous boy (before and after) but I can understand your concerns. Penny is a Lynwater girl, and if I drove, I would take her back there for grooming, as her half brother goes back and looks fab. He's always just been hand stripped and even tho' he's been neutered, his coat still looks fantastic.
Penny was going to asomeone in Edinburgh, but I wasn't that happy with the last couple of visits. She went yesterday to a new lady (recomended by an acquaintance with three cockers) and I'm really happy now n- she's been properly stripped and looks much better..  
Diesel is only wee and everything will grow back in - it might be worth printing off a pic of a dog you like the look of and just saying that's the length you want kept on the feathers, skirt, etc.

Ah, I quizzed our PaH groomer and she seemed confused about how much they even charge for a Cocker, nevermind what sort of trim it'd need. Now I definitely know to avoid avoid avoid!

SteveB--you have really made me chuckle!!! Glad you have too hun.

I think Id be really upset too looking at lickle Diesels pics...but at least his fur will grow back. When I took my b.collie (aged 12) for a trim she came out totally shaved and had a poodle cut to her feet and tail  >:( so kind of know how you feel and the disappointment on collection and after  :'(

Diesel is still mega cute though  :luv: :luv:

I havent plucked up the courage to have Freya tidied up yet!!
