		<title>Grooming a Lab</title>
		<link>http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/grooming_a_lab-24792</link>
		<description><![CDATA[
			<p>My purebred lab is 9 1/2 months old. I notice that the fur on the back of his hind legs is looking kind of long and shaggy. He's a short haired, smooth coat dog, so I know he doesn't have to go to the groomer as a rule, but do people have this kind of thing trimmed or do they just leave it?  We're first time dog parents so we're not sure. We like him to look his best and take good care of him with brushing. Any other Lab owners care to weigh in? Thanks!<br /><br />				ASKED BY

			<p>I'm looking into what type of dog to get, and both of these breeds sound like they have the personality traits that I would like to have in my next companion.  My lifestyle and  the large fenced yard that I have would be suited to these breeds as well. My last dog needed clipped, and I would like to avoid that expense. Also, can you tell if these dogs shed very much?<br /><br />				ASKED BY

			<p>I had my cocker spaniel groomed on Saturday and they said they had to shave her because her hair was too matted..which is fine.. but they shaved her sooo close to the skin (which seems completely unnecessary) and now she is constantly itching and licking and rubbing her rear end on the carpet. Her skin is obviously irritated and itchy due to the close shave, is there a product I can put on her that will help??<br /><br />				ASKED BY
