This might be a question with an obvious answer or one that is impossible to answer without having a hnads on feel of the coat but if possible I'd love some advice!
Darcy is 9 now and has always had what I've thought of as a soft coat (her topknot is always a bit floppy once it gets to any length and her ears are never very 'full' looking)
We've alternated between me grooming her at home and using a professional groomer since she was a baby-it took a few times to find someone she was comfortable with. We've usually had her short all over but with a poodley face and top knot(apart the memorable time a newly qualified groomer took me asking for a clean face to mean shave her entire head :afraid
We had a big gap between proper grooms over the spring/summer as our usual groomer was away and very busy so I was just bathing/brushing her at home and she has grown a bit more coat.
At her last groom at the end of July she had a 'lamb trim' with the coat longer on her legs. Now that the children are older (8 and 5) I have more time to keep on top of a longer coat and would like to be able to grow it into more of a style than just short all over!
Is this possible with a coat that is more soft in texture? I have another appointment with her groomer tomorrow so will ask her advice too but I don't want to go and be the difficult client asking for the impossible!
