yes i agree. i have a cocker and toy poodle. sammy (cocker) hasnt had his first haircut yet, but missy, (my old cocker) we shaved her sometimes. and my poodle molli, we keep her fur pretty short. (but we dont shave it)

its much more kind to give them a pet clip if they are not show pets, and dont have the time to keep them groomed. and a little less hair cuts.
