To cut or not to cut

[Helen]

I thought I'd read once that it had to be about an inch long for aiming purposes. As if it's too short, they wee on themselves.

Agreed.  I wouldn't chop it too short.... but then my boy dog is a lurcher so his willy-tuft is quite short anyway 

and his legs are about 3 ft long so he has a better chance of missing himself as well

i ony trim a little bit....

Logan is au natural as he thought it would be more impressive to the girls kept longer

I've cut Freddie's once, funnily enough it doesn't appear to have grown again.Most odd.

I think this is the second unkindest cut of all.I think you'll know what the first is.

I trim Alfie's. If you get them to lie on their back you can kind of trim it from the back to the front and leave a more natural shape which I've found lessens the chance of them peeing on themselves but you can still keep it nice and short.
