yup, the first pic is of Paris ages ago, the second pic I posted is Lukas, and he doesn't get brushed at all really. lol! I like a bit of neck, even on pet dogs but Lukas lives with his big ol collar on 24/7 so neck hair isn't an option for him! He was a 4F blade on his body, and I think a 7/8" comb over his legs.

Photos help a LOT when people bring them in, then I KNOW what they're trying to say! I've also become adept at reading what they want by questioning them a fair bit, so just keep talking about what you like and dont' like, and hopefully the groomer can work it out! lol

lol I love poodle butts & rear legs too! And he is a pretty boy....

The german trim CAN have a totally shaved tail, or it can have the 'carrot' tail. It's personal preference really, and you can find lots of german pics with a shaved tail too. It does have to be the right tail though, gay or curled tails look weird, though a curved tail is fine, just not curled right over! lol

most people prefer the carrot tail initially anyway, the nekkid tail does take some getting used to! I used to HATE the look of the shaved tail, but I gotta say that after seeing it on so many german trims when I was studying them, I'm more used to it now and I'm not so against it anymore... lol!

I used to not overly like a pom pom either, and I thought Paris was best in a carrot tail, but since growing hers out into a pom pom, I'm liking that more and more now too. hahaha!
