Grooming long hair terrier

I have a shaggy hair terrier and we was wondering with the hot weather should we give him a trim.
We are most concerned about the hair over his eyes.
Is there a comb that cuts at the same time.
Now i must admit what first attracted to him was his scruffy looks and if we had professionally trimmed that would go, but we also wont to do what is best for him.
All advise would be helpfull.

We always took most of Duncan's coat off during the summer, he was far too hot with the long hair. Used scissors for a scruffy chop, and a decent hair clipper (electric) for a more groomed look.

Over the years he had various eye catching hair dos some more successful than laughable. Interestingly he would after a chop run around like a puppy for a few days like he had the weight of the world removed from him.

Is the dog the one you posted on the wedding photo thread?

If so he looks like he needs hand stripping.

Funny you should say that Frankie my scruffy terrier is clipped in the heat although we only trim his face so that he doesn't entirely lose the endearing scruffy look. He too has been loving his short locks in this heat. It grows back in time for winter and he is panting much less without the weight of all that hair.

Hi all, yes hes my little scruf as photo in my wedding picture.
I went to pets at home to look at there trimming combs, £9 so ordered one on line for £1.75, it looks the same so fingers crossed.
He dose not seem to be to worred about his long hair but a trim will help, just not sure about the hair over his eyes.

If there is a lot of hair over his eyes you can trim it but my advice would be to keep a brow over his eyes as it'll work as as a sun-shade. If you think your dog is hairy take a look at my two Good luck and whatever you do it will all grow back anyway.
