When I first got Chloe at age 4 she had been shaved naked for her entire life.  I've been growing her out ever since.  Her hair almost touched the floor.  But it was not a good coat.  It did not lay flat like a correct Lhasa Apso coat should.  It was all poofy despite all the products I tried.  I could no longer see her reach and stride when she moved because her hair didn't flow as she moved, it bounced.  I finally gave up and clipped her today.  3 1/2 years of weekly baths and brush outs gone in an instant.  Thank God I'm pleased with the results. 

She's as cute as a button Liz!

Liz you are an artist. Not a clipper mark on Chloe.  And she is such a cutie.

Fine job Liz. She is a good looking young lady

Thanks.  She is 7 1/2 years old so what she is is a handsome middle aged lady. 

I have been advised by the owner of my Lhasa Apso forum to grow her out again.  She says that if I do as she says that if I do as she says that I can tame her hair, that she sees terrible coats that have been tamed in the show ring.  But I'm not going to do it.  I just cut off almost 2 years of hair growth.  I don't want Chole to have to bother with that much coat and it's maintenance when she's 9 years old.

Good for you Liz.  Dogs are meant to romp and play, not be paraded around in a ring.

She sure is pretty!  I love her coat that way,
