There is no reason you can't. Most good breeders will send a purebred puppy home already in it's traditional breed clip. Breeders start getting their pups used to clipping at only a few weeks old. the younger you start, the more comfortable the puppy will be with grooming and handling.

If you do not have a purebred puppy and instead have a designer mutt or mix of unknown origin, the only thing waiting 6 months will do is show you what the full grown coat might look like. But even there you are only looking at puppy coat, not adult coat. The adult coat is generally very different in texture. Also, unless you are really good at brushing and combing, 6 months of coat growth usually makes for a very matted dog.
