Before grooming, these feet are shaggy and unattractive.  The excess hair can easily pick up mud and burrs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This close-up shows the trimming that has been done to neaten the foot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This photo shows the foot at the left ungroomed while the paw at the right is groomed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notice the shaggy bottom of the foot.  With the footpad covered by hair, the dog has little traction when walking, running or playing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After trimming, the footpads are easy to see.  This is important so that the dog has good traction when ambulating.
