As far as I know it will not harm them. A lot of show dogs have their whiskers trimmed off. Think of dogs such as poodles that get their muzzles shaved all the time, they are fine with no whiskers. I don't think dogs use their whiskers like cats do.
Personally I would never trim off my dogs whiskers. I think Nebo's are adorable.
i would never trim Beanie's off either. they are so cute!
i never thought of poodles. duh...n/m dumb question.lol

The groomer always took RB Tonee's off and shortend her eye lashes. After a bit I told her to leave the lashes. They were beautiful. Like an inch long !!

I trimmed my Chow's whiskers as well...
My ex-husband's cousin breeds Golden's, and she always did hers, said it gave 'a cleaner face'.. I agree, but I won't cut Trix's, I don't think..

I trim Emily and Clipse's whiskers all the time. I like the "neat" look it gives their muzzles.
*Thanks Ashley*
I don't trim my dogs whiskers, I don't actually even notice they have any unless I am specifically looking at the whiskers.

I trim the Shelties' whiskers as well. I like how clean it looks.

My Uncle cuts his lab's whiskers offs but we won't cut Riley's off (didn't cut Brooke's off either). We like the natural look
this is news to me, didn't know that some people trim whiskers. we learn something new everyday
thanks k9krazee for the signature!
I had to trim Heidi's whisker's for the show. Most dog's whiskers are trimmed when they are shown...except for Tollers. They don't trim theirs. I like Heidi's whiskers, and I was happy when they grew back. I think they are cute. I like it when they twitch..hehe.
