I don’t have time to maintain hair..! But then not sure Id be keen on monthly clipping either. I’d be unlikely to chose a very hairy one for my own.
I don't have a hairy cob and therefore can't really answer the question, but I do generally prefer to leave things as natural as possible. I can see both sides though and can't deny that a fit, hogged cob looks really smart.
This topic has really made me wonder why so many hairy cob types do seem to have skin issues which require the hair removing. Seems odd really when you think about it.
I have a heavy cob, but with silky, fine feathers. He did have them removed once, when he wasn't mine, and he looked awful. It somehow shortened his legs and made him look dumpy. Thankfully he has never had mites and has minimal issues with cobgrease round his ergots, which can be kept in check with regular warm salt water baths.
I do LOATHE beards though, and whip his off as it grows back.
Who is talking s- about beards?!
It was very funny how her beard completely split opinions, 100% love or hate, no in-between ?
I trim beards too so you have a lovely neat jawline. Wouldn't ever trim whiskers though!
