In ESC, this hair should not be scissored close so we are growing it out. Other than that, we actually think he has a balanced amount of neck hair for this trim. As long as I can at the very least maintain this amount of hair (coat change), and preferably grow a little, we will be A-OKAY.

He looks like he is smiling in the 2nd picture! So handsome!!

ahhhh....he looks so sweet! I cant get over all the hair on his butt! Im use to seeing shaved butts...so his looks huge to me! But even with the big butt he looks adorable. Why did she choose this trim over the continental?

Thanks!

Stella - she chose this clip for a variety of reasons, including the fact that he was clipped into pattern only 3 days before this show. (He had just turned 1 on that Wednesday.)

Typically, a dog is cut into pattern and then they will sit out to grow coat. During this time, they will get used to having a shaved rear and, if the dog is light in color, their skin will tan over time.

She really wanted to finish him that weekend for me and thought he had a good chance, so she chose the clip that would work best for him.

She got lots of compliments from the judges in this clip and she and her crew want me to keep him in this trim. You don't see a lot of standards with it and he does pull it off pretty well! I like how it enhances the look of his nice, short back. He has lots of rear angulation and, IMO, this is part of the reason the clip looks so good on him.

It's interesting as I've read before that leggy dogs don't look good in ESC. Tiger is square, short backed and leggy, yet pull it off well!

I LOVE seeing something other than a continental. It seems to me it would draw attention to him over the others, which can only be a good thing. You might start a trend! He is very handsome indeed.
