Been trying to post this all day but keep getting sidetracked.

Oscar is 6 months now and he is a total wooly mammouth in the coat department.

He is a cocker spaniel (for those that don't know ) and he has really wooly feathering already.

I am totally new to this and have no idea what his grooming requirements are.

I have been told to leave his coat to develop before i get anything done but he really is a mammouth and we are only at the start of the summer

Any ideas what i should do? I saw a cocker that had been totally clipped REALLY short the other day and i thought it looked awful (i didn't even realise it was a cocker )
