Hello! Our puppy Naaru is 7 months old. On the 9th of July he is scheduled for his first trip to an actual groomer. We don't have many Newfs in our area so I had to settle on a groomer that seems to know what she is doing. We are having a bath and comb out. She will hand dry him on the floor. She plans to try to get as much under coat out as possible between the dryer and combing/brushing. She will also clean out his pads. We love the natural look of him and are against having anything cut off or trimmed. He has quite a head of floof and long furry ears. He also has very long feathers and pants. We like the messy feet.He does tend to get smallish tangles/mats under his arm pits from his harness rubbing and is sensitive about me getting them out or even cutting them out but otherwise he has no knots or mats. I could really use some advice though. His coat is half puppy fur and half adult fur. It's only started changing in the past month or so. His pants and feathers are a much lighter shade then the deep brown coming in on his back, tail and fronts of his legs. We've been told if we don't cut that off that the fur will stay that way giving him that two tone appearance on his legs. His head and ear fur also lightened up extremely as though someone used sun in on him or peroxide but I think that's from chlorine and sun the first time he swam in the pool and then layed out in the sun unrinsed. We are sure to rinse him immediately now but were told we needed to have all that lighter fur on his head and ears cut off as well. We really don't want to cut or even trim him if we don't have to but if that light fur needs to come of then we will have to. I'm hoping to get some advice on if it will fall out or shed off on it's own or do we need to have him trimmed? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
P.S. Is it acceptable to bring my own shampoo,conditioner and grooming spray?
