Do you trim your dog's fur?

Nope, mine are all very low maintenance when it comes to grooming. They get brushed but no trimming. Maggie could be trimmed I suppose with her wild hair, but her wild hair is what makes her so I leave it alone. Grant has fuzzt feet, hair coming through the pads, but I leave it alone. It's not bad that it needs to be cut, plus he has to go slow over the kitchen since he can slip. Poor guy thinks he can run full speed in the house, until he gets to the kitchen. Sadie has a short, silky coat and she needs no trimming.

I trim Bitsy's hair, but the other dogs all have short hair and don't need to be trimmed.

never ever have or will at all unless for some reason I end up with a show dog of a breed requring to be clipped. It is a huge pet peeve of mine when people clip their dogs that don't absolutley need it and when they clip them for summer.

Kirby gets a furcut every 3 months or so. with a bath every two to three weeks and 'touch up' to his face and paws inbetween. his paws need the most touch ups,, the hair seems to just really spourt out fast on paws. which is a pain as it takes me forever to trim the fuzzies off.

when i first got him he had really fuzzy feet. and i seen a ton of pictures of Poodles with shaved feet and thought they looked adorable. so i tired it. .and have been doing it ever since. now i cant stand fuzzy Poodle feet.

im a bad mommy though. i never brush him till his coat starts to feel like crap. then i brush him and bathe him and do touch ups if its needed.
