I am off for the holiday weekend. I will be in the shop Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week.
I've already had people come in and say "leave the hair longer, cold weather is coming". Cooler, yes but it doesn't get really cold for another 3 or 4 months. Longer hair means they need to get groomed more often or you need to keep them brushed/ combed/ mat free at home. If you start growing it out now, the likelihood of them becoming too matted and needing to be shaved in the coldest part of winter is pretty high.
Sugar was kind enough to be my hair growth model. This is 10 weeks worth of growth for her. Definitely long enough to mat. Their hair grows fast.
