Australian Kelpie Hair Cuts are often designed to make the dog look clean, tidy and its best if entering a competition. Even though the Australian Kelpie has a medium growing coat, many owners still like to keep the coat well cut.
Whilst some owners do cut their Australian Kelpie's Hair, it is not generally required as their coat has been developed through years of breeding to endure all kinds of weather. Some people believe that the Australian Kelpie like to have their Hair cut relatively short when in warmer climates, however a lot of owners do strongly disagree.
Regular brushing of the coat is a much easier and cheaper option to consider, as any Hair that has become lose will simply brush away leaving the coat looking natural and well looked after. Cutting the coat can cause damage if cut incorrectly and will change the way that the coat grows in the future, causing discomfort to the dog.
If any owner is contemplating cutting their Australian Kelpie's Hair, having it carried out by a professional groomer is highly recommended as there can be no room for mistakes. Furthermore, a professional groomer will only remove the required amount of Hair and unlike some owners, will never completely shave the Australian Kelpie.
