Going for a hair cut
I am taking Mac to the groomers next week as he is looking terrible and the weather is warming up here. I had him at a groomers in Oregon and I thought he looked great but I didn't like the fact that they cut his hair short under his chest and showed all his private area. The pictures I have seen of the Westies on this message board have had their fur long in that area. I was told to ask for a puppy cut. The groomer I am taking Mac to was recommended to me by a couple who have a couple of Westies and they are pleased with her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am new at this game. Thanks!

Re: Going for a hair cut
I think if you ask for a puppy cut they'll do it short again the way you don't like....thankfully mine are girls so being cut short looks just fine !! Print off a picture of a style you like here (trawl the photo albums) and take it along to show them. XXX.

Re: Going for a hair cut
Make sure you talk to your groomer and let her know what you want. Maybe even write it on a paper before you go so you do not forget to express what you would like. Good luck!! Love and Licks Sir William & Lily

Re: Going for a hair cut
I always write down my requests as it is usually a flurry of activity when we go in. I agree with taking a picture also. Let's them know exactly what you are wanting. Can't wait to see pictures...

Re: Going for a hair cut
Val, Tell the groomer you want a 'skirt' on him. you can always trim it shorter if it gets too long.
I agree, take a photo along with instructions on back.
if she has groomed other Westies, she'll know about the skirt. and not to trim nails too short. tell them westies have a long quick.
before/after photos please.
Hugs to Mac Fran & R gang
