Hi everyone,
My question is quite simple really. I’ve got a gorgeous little girl who's three and a half; she’s a cross between a Bichon and a Yorkie. I was thinking it might be a good idea to ask the groomer to clip her this summer so she doesn’t get too hot. It’s just a thought at the moment, I haven’t definitely decided to go ahead with it yet, I’m still thinking it over. So, my question is: does their hair grow back quickly? I’ve included a photo to give you an idea of her current coat length. When I went to the groomer's on Wednesday, I arrived 15 minutes early and she was clipping a little Yorkie. I thought it was a bit strange to have a dog clipped in winter, but anyway... For mine, it would be for the summer, but I’m hesitant because I really like her long hair. The groomer always tells me she has a beautiful, shiny, fine coat with a lovely parting down her back that makes it fall to both sides.
So, does anyone know how long it would take for her coat to get back to this length?
I love her long hair but I only want to do it for her sake, so she isn’t too hot. Last year we had a heatwave and I did my best to keep her in a cool spot; I’d dampen her back and head from time to time—more like stroking her with a wet hand—and of course, I changed her water frequently.
Many thanks in advance
