I've kept Lexus trimmed since she was about 3 months old, so she sits quite nicely for the clippers. I do all facial whiskers, the outside edge of her ears, and the spot on the tip of her tail that grows a little long on the bottom.greenkouki said:Do most people shave the dobe muzzle or not? i know some believe dogs need to use them as "feelers" much like cats, but i'm not even sure that dogs do. Dobes definently have a more sleek appearance with ears, wiskers, and rear legs trimmed.
