Thank you - your Barney is such a cutie - i have gone thru all the cuts and decided on this one- it's really short but he so loves going outside in the garden that it would be best, i'd have loved to keep his coat long but it'll drive me crazy if i have to wipe him evertime he goes out. His at the doggy parlor today so i will post a pic of him when i pick him up tonight.
Never knew about the sanitary shave- i will see how it goes now and if i don't like it we may have to grow it out and just do the sanitary shave next time.
Thanks for replying
