jacob 28 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I shaved my young Beddy the other day - he looks like a skinned Rabbit now , He was crashing through rough cover this afternoon with no problems. ahhh thats nice ,you left his little top knot and little dangley ear wispy bits,very smart indeed Quote Link to post
david2363 42 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I would be offended by that Jacob exept he isn't a relative of mine. He is hilarious looking though isnt he? - not the most macho dog in the world to take for a walk. Funny thing is though, he obviously doesn't realise just how poofy he looks as he's scared of absolutely nothing. Quote Link to post

Bantam cock 1 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 As you shaved the beddy , Why didn't you do it all, instead of leaving a topknot and ear tassells? I would have thought you'd have wanted to distance yourself from the show bedlington things, cant see swansea's milly ever looking like that.JMO Quote Link to post
robbie g 42 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) i have just shaved my two and have a few times, some people dont like shaving them as the say it ruins there coats but it hasen't effect the coats on my dogs Edited March 17, 2007 by robbie g Quote Link to post

I would have thought you'd have wanted to distance yourself from the show bedlington things, cant see swansea's milly ever looking like that.JMO I did do , right after that pic was taken. I just wanted to see what he would look like like that. Anyway, the dog has very little in common with his posh show cousins but let me tell you "Bantam cock" If you think a bit of hair left on a dogs head and ears can have a negative effect on his working/hunting ability, I'm afraid you have a lot to learn about dogs in general. If I wanted to play the macho man, I would be into Pitbulls etc. The dog on the end of my lead makes me no more or less of a bigman whatever he looks like - JMO Quote Link to post
