Honey is 16 weeks now and very hairy! My groomer refuses to cut her until 6 months as he says messes with hair growth, is this the norm? Can't imagine waiting another 2 months, she will just be a huge hairball by then! X

I am no expert but have never heard this before. I can't remember what age Bobby was when I first took him to the groomers but don't remember them mentioning he had to be a certain age before he could be cut.

I dont think i had Buddy cut till 6mths ,his body seemed fine but his face was getting long so i would cut around his face myself,not heard this before maybe its because they still have they're puppy coats at that age??

Yes my groomer refused to cut Beau until his adult coat had come through at about nine months.

My girls were never trimmed tille 7 momths at the earliest. but echi and delta were.9 months when they were first clipped.

ask your groomer for a wee trim just to neeten her up.

I was told this by my groomer at 6 months and when I took him again at 8 months she still said his adult coat was not coming through and would not cut him even though he resembled a yetti. I was booked on the grooming course so had to cut him myself and I must say his coat has definitely changed since doing so. He was very soft and cuddly before but he is not nearly so soft now. I did go and ask another couple of groomers advice but they said they would have no problem cutting him. I don't really know much about grooming so not sure whether the coat would have changed anyway how long I waited.

I think they get a little less soft, because it is their adult coat.

When Lady was about 4 months old I took her for a face trim, so that she could see....but she didn't get a full groom untill I think 7 moths or so,
