Really, REALLY Dumb Question...lol

OK, here goes...

I have a 12 week old Jack Russell..

He has very long hair hanging down off of the tip of his penis... lol

Can you trim this or is it a functional part of his body?

I told you it was dumb... lol

You just obviously need to be careful while trimming! *ouch!* My male aussie had it too. While he was a puppy it was a pee trap. Now it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. But I trimmed it shorter when he was a pup.

Why don't you make an appointment with your vet. If this needs to be done it should be by a vet. Good luck......

What! i'm sure my vet would laugh at me.It's just hair hanging down, you would have to be a complete idoit, to cut anything that should'nt be cut.

Went to the vet today (For regular visit) and sure enough, this is a commonly asked question...lol

It is now trimmed... Turns out it is just normal puppy hair that can be removed...

It is common to clip thast hair.

With long haired breeds (I know yours isnt) people often trim some of the belly hair as well.

yes it can be trimmed with scissors do not clip as the blade can easily slip and snip his privates so i would be careful you can get this done at the groomers which is called a hygeine trim or sanitary trim

with my Pekingnese they shave the butthole so she can poo better if we don't then she get's dingle berries and frankly that's grooss. I would think that cutting the hair might be sensitive and i don't know how well they would lay for that I would leave it it's not like it's bothering them unless it's as long as long as Santa's beard!!.
