My Chinese Crested baby! Grooming questions... :)

Tweet

I have the most wonderful puppy in the world! He is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff, totally white & only 8 lb. I got him in Dec. 2010 & the best thing I ever did! He is so smart and I've taught him 6 different tricks. I never knew about Chinese Crested Powder Puffs until I found him & I'm so glad I did! I take him to a good groomer who has been trimming his hair as it's growing to look like the pictures of the traditional CCPP, with the long hair. The hair on his ears though is getting very long like pictures I've seen before of others, but his hair seems to be pulling his ears down. He has always had naturally standing ears & so cute too! And the hair on top of his head is getting very long & comes over his eyes, so I sometimes put his hair up in a bow so he can see & so I can see his sweet little black eyes! His hair around his neck and chest is getting really long, like a nice mane. My question is, do any of you have a CCPP or experience grooming one? And what do you suggest I should do about his grooming? Should I trim his hair shorter on his ears? Should I trim his hair on his head & mane a little bit shorter. It sometimes gets wet when he drinks water. The hair on his body is about 5 to 5.5 inches long. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this, or about your own Chinese Crested! Thanks :)
