It does! Nova has such a sweet face, as does your Indy.

Fluffyspoos, I like the length in the second (trimmed) pic a lot. Nova has a pretty course coat. I wonder if she could pull this off.

Carley's TK is long and it wants to part and fall flat. Do I need to use a thinning sheer on it? Do your dogs do the same right after being fluffed for a photo. I can make hers go up long enough to get a picture... but soon after it falls. I still prefer it long, even parted and flat, over the icecream cone shaped look. It is fun to have dogs that you can change their looks at will.

Here's Leroy from his puppy days till now. Last photo I just took a couple of minutes ago. I want to grow his TK really huge. I really want to shave his face but letting that grow. To me, the fluffier his face gets, the dopier he looks lol.

Thank you- this picture was such a huge ordeal. Darby took off, I was chasing her around the neighborhood and she would not come! I was screaming at her ( as calmly as I could of course!!!) and the boys were laughing at me. One of my boys had pneumonia so I wanted this to be as quick and easy as possible. I got Darby back into the yard and went to get my cats for the picture, and then one of them took off. My cats are hairless so they can't be in cold (I had them wrapped in blankets, or so the plan was). I put the two inside then chased after the third, then Darby started to chase him. Boys are still laughing at my hysterical crazyness. Ok, no cats in the picture! I sit the boys down, tell Darby to sit, and took 2 pictures, and viola! Everyone was looking straight and smiling! Such luck!

No help on the topknot question but as for the Miami, you can always do it with a little longer coat on the body if you are worried about the freckles. I have gone as far as using a 3 3/4F blade and it still looks nice. Otherwise, shave it down, it is hair it grows back! LOL (Okay I have to remind myself of that every time I get ready to cut Sterling's hair)

I hope I did this correctly. Her TK isn't perfect because I'm learning to do it myself. I much prefer a blended TK (kind of like a bichon).
