Hairy belly and willy

Woody (9month old ESS) is getting very hairy lately!! He has a really hairy belly/chest/legs etc and his willy hair seems to be getting longer and longer, almost into his belly hair.

I know generally springers are clipped along the top (I don't think he needs this yet) but do I need to trim the belly/willy hair too?

Sorry, no pics as camera broken.

I hate hairy willys lol!
I always clip the hair off and you can tidy up around the belly/inner thigh area as well if you wish.

It's good practice to trim the old willy hair at the pointy end even if you choose not to trim elsewhere.

We cut Bryan's 'wee hairs' because they go all yellow

We don't trim his belly, but we do trim his chest. Just with scissors like

No, it can be a cause of bad smell and harbor germs!!

Snipping the end of the willie hair off with help circulation round that area

What do you mean by clipping the hair along the top

there is realy no need to clip the hair on his shoulder/back area

A good stripping/grooming brush should do the trick
