Ok, so I'm finally getting over my hesitation and have my pup booked in at the groomers for next week. The problem is, we're having a really hard time trying to figure out what he's "supposed" to look like, or what would look good on him, and I'm worried about going in without some sort of direction to give the groomer.
Hurley is almost a year and a half, so I think this is finally all his adult hair. He hasn't had a trim since his last puppy trim. I know it's horrible, but the last "outing" he had where I had to leave him was a very very bad vet visit, and I've been scared ever since. So I'm basically starting from scratch because there's no shape to his coat whatsoever, and to top it off- he's a mix breed, so there's no breed standard. When we adopted him they believed he was papillon/pom cross, but not sure about the pom. The other suggestion thrown out there was chi, but I think he looks like he's got terrier in him.
I know we *don't* like the pap coats, so nothing in that direction. But does anyone have suggestions for what might "fit" him? I'm clueless at all this, and getting tempted to just give him another 'puppy cut'.
This is just after we brought him home.
And this is the most recent one I have of him.
