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 ) |
I take mine to a groomer the pup hasnt needed to be cut yet other than just a tidy her feet, ears and knickers but not her body. When i take mine i always have the traditional springer cut, body short in summer, feathers on legs chest and skirt left but trimmed, ears short left a little longer around the edges knickers trimmed and thinned out but left o, think the typical cocker look will be more or less the same as the springer. I posted on a similar thread a few weeks ago and someone came back saying not to have body shaved as it spoils the coat, it never has mine his coat is soft silky and looks really sleek.
