The Modern Shag for Long-Haired Dogs

Think less “shaggy dog” and more “chic and sophisticated.” This style involves strategically layering a long-haired dog’s coat to create movement and texture. It’s not a full-on lion’s mane, but a carefully sculpted look that accentuates their natural features. Think of it as a flattering haircut for your furry friend, emphasizing their best angles. This style works particularly well on breeds like Golden Retrievers, Old English Sheepdogs, and Bernese Mountain Dogs, providing a less overwhelming yet still luxurious look. Regular brushing is key to maintain the shape and prevent matting.
