WOULD U BELIEVE THIS WAS THE SAME DOG ??????????

[hayleymitch]

With this warm weather my Golden Retriever was so hot with his thick coat i decided to get him clipped an what a different dog here are some before and after pics he is only just 4 n called Dillon.
And his new hair cut has proved a massive difference with him climbing 3 mountains in the Lakes in 4 days this weekend he buzzed of it and is so much more happier.
What do u think about his new look?

If you wanted a proper dog you could of just gone & bought a lab in the first place!! LOL.
Yes I'm being cheeky! He looks really happy for that, bet he feels loads lighter & cooler!

Well, the proper name for a Lab is a Labrador Retriever!!!!!

Dillon is so handsome with both his 'hair do' s but must feel a lot more comfortable with his summer 'do',very considerate of you.Will have the show purists up in arms lol!I once did the same to my old sheltie one hot summer,the breeder went mentalist but my Rufus was so happy and that's what matters most!

 

[jellyshake]

ohhhh you're brave, how many folks have asked about your 'new' dog then and what happened to your old one

i used to do a belly clip on my long haired GSD in the hot weather, wouldn't dared to have taken all his lovely locks off

*giggles* Just what I was thinking

Looks really cute now, it's a good job!

I think he looks much nicer...... but then I am a hair phobe...... anything that hairy makes me sneeze, whereas your new version looks nice and not allergic at all

Did you do it or did you take him to a groomers???

 

[hayleymitch]

my friend does him 4 me who is a dog groomer i cud not do it to him and would take me a full day, no he goes to get clipped then bathed and nails trimmed and then blow dried LOL
i can do horses all day long but couldnt manage a dog i dont think

 

[ru-fi-do]

Bless him! He looks like a pup in the far right picture. I have done the same to my collies and they are so much happier..... so is my hoover

I will have to get some photo's posted.

 

[heidi123]

Nawww he looks so cute!! you got 2 dogs for price 1

Bet he's loving its, new lease of life!!
Friends collie has just been done, they made ditch attpemt of doing it themselves...and well lets just say... reminded me of specsavers that advert on tv

He's now taken a well needed trip to the doggie parlour

I do my Border Terrier myself after the last 'professional' groomer I took her to had obviously never seen a picture of what a BT is supposed to look like, she came back with a square cut muzzle and head - I think shed been given the min schnauzer number, poor thing looked ridiculous!

Now she has me and a pair of rounded scissors and looks like a cool crinkle cut chip! But loves being more comfy!

Your lovely GR looks fab and much more comfy - I cant bear seeing dogs too hot in summer, much prefer them clipped, even long coaties
