Why do you have to cut it though? I only cut my retrievers hair around his paws when they get raggedy looking. With a lab would a brush down with a rake and slicker not remove the dead hair and keep it the coat looking tidy?

Def dont cut a labs hair. They are not meant to be cut. They have a short right coat.
Why would you want to cut it anyway?

I.m not going to cut his hair. Just asking csuse of the videos online. He gets a brush down every day.

Do you mean a yellow lab? Or a lab/retriever cross?

The formers coat wouldn't need to be cut, just brushed. It's a very thick short coat.
The later, perhaps, it'd depend.

Then I'd imagine that the videos are aimed at the type of person who'd operate on their dog for aesthetics, if you catch my meaning.

Don't cut the coat.

You can get alot of bad information on the internet. You do not clip a double coated dog unless its for the well being of the dog. Yellow labs along with golden retrievers are double coated. The outside hair is the guard hairs while the under hair is the undercoat.
