Haircut

Pumpkin puppy had her first major haircut a few weeks ago, going from this delightfully shaggy dog:

To this somewhat severe poodle-styled cut:

Pumpkin looking surprised after a rather over-zealous haircut. It'd be fair to say none of us are happy with the cut - making her look more like a poodle than a poodle-Cavalier King Charles spaniel hybrid.

Though we’ve used the grooming place for 10 years (with Ruby dog), and though Pumpkin’s first trim was fine we probably won’t be going back again. They completely ignored my wife’s instructions to give Pumpkin an overall trim, just clearing her eyes and arse of the longest hair…

To be fair, she can see now. And her hair will grow to look more like her ‘breed’ should.

Eventually.
