Wow he is a beautiful little dog! I love your ambition and desire for something new and creative! I would watch his skin if you decide to do the cords, the weight from them might pull, bruise or irritate his skin because it is unnatural for his breeds and is basically a form of organized matting. Make sure the skin can breath properly and that the dog can bend its joints comfortaby.I have worked with some Komandors that the owner "cords" (very poorly maintaned) the dogs always smell TERRIBLE and their skin is rancid and raw and urine burned. We never charge less than 150 per dog because of the extensive work it takes to groom them. The mainenance is not just important for looks, its also important for the health and well being of the dog.
