What do I trim off?

Okay so this is the first time I've done ears, but they were getting unruly and needed to be trimmed.

Here's one ear done, the other not done.



I was wondering if you trim the chest up to remove the fur that's sticking out and rounding out the chest better? Milo has some floof that just sticks out.




Also on the feet, what do you do with those tufts of hair that seem to stick out from between the toes? I shave the under neath of the feet so the pads are exposed and they don't have a ton of furn under there, but not sure what to do with these.






And in the back of the hock, do you do anything with that fur, or just leave it?

The one ear looks good, so do the same with the other. Trim off what is sticking out or excess on the chest to trim it back a little and neaten it up. For the feet, trim around the front of the foot to neaten. With a comb, comb backwards the hair on top to stand it up, then trim with a thinners. It should look rounded. For the hocks, use a curved shear and trim off any excess on the back and sides and the bottom of the foot. You should have about an inch or two left on the back of the leg.
