Making sure that your Newfoundland dog has a healthy and strong coat is without a dobt an important thing to do, especially if you take into account that this is a long haired dog in which the coat fulfills a really important role. The first thing you need to do before making different Newfoundland haircuts is to make sure that it is clean and soft. Usually, dirty and tangled Hair does not look natural and cutting it like that will eventually show errors and disproportions when the Hair is clean again.
Once you have your Newfoundland dog bathed and clean, you will have to follow with a firm and devoted brushing moment in which you make sure the Hair is completely untangled and free of knots. This will make the cutting much easier and safer. Remember that firm brushes, combs and scissors are always needed in order to achieve the best results.
When cutting and trimming your Newfoundland's abundant coat you need to start by making an even trim through the entire body of the dog. One or two inches off are usually the average amount recommended since these long haired dogs must maintain their natural long Hair. Then you will have to cut much more carefully around the eyes and ears since there Hair grows really fast and may produce complications to your dog. You can provide your Newfoundland with different styles and haircuts but keeping its coat clean, tidy and natural is always important.
