I just rehomed a dog. I was told she was a Shorkie. I have since discovered she is a Lhasa Apso. I am thrilled. She is 1 year old so she will be with me awhile I hope. I am curious how do you tell the groomer to cut her? She is a little matted up and her hair is long. May have to get cut pretty short the first time. Any help is appreciated. Thrilled to be in this group.
