Dachshund Gets Her First Haircut-and Mom Completely Loses It
Whether it's human babies or fur babies, the first haircut is always a big deal.
And for this Dachshund's first haircut, her mom's reaction to the before-and-after transformation is hilarious.

Lady's mom, influencer Abby Baffoe, couldn't have had a funnier and sweeter reaction to her dog's haircut.
"Look at the little bow!" Baffoe squeals.
In classic influencer mode, she does a full reveal of Lady's beautiful first haircut when she gets home to show off the great work the groomer did.
She's sure to point out that Lady no longer has those Grinchy feet (though those are really the best part of Longhaired Dachshunds, but they will return!).
Do Dachshunds Need Haircuts?
How often Dachshunds need haircuts depends on the type of hair they have.
Smooth-haired and Wirehaired Dachshunds are a bit more low-maintenance pups when it comes to haircut maintenance than Longhaired Dachshunds.
Because Longhaired Dachshunds have long, silky coats, they require regular brushing to prevent matting and tangles.
Regular haircuts should also be in a rotation of about every six to eight weeks, as well as frequent baths.
"Grinchy" feet are quite cute, but their hair could get so long that they may end up tripping or getting their hair caught on something if it's too long.

The Adorable Bath Routine Behind This Dachshund's Fluffy Transformation
Even though this may have been Lady's first haircut, her bath routine has been next-level and definitely contributed to her transformation.
Lady's bath routine includes gentle scrubs and a few kisses, followed by a little towel session, and then finally a full, glamorous blowout.
Lady, the Dachshund, seems to love all the attention from Mom and getting her beautiful hair blown out.
