Going for a hair cut Vote for this post

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!

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.

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

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...

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
