| Hygiene area clipping I am wondering how best to groom/maintain my girl Lilah's high maintenance hygiene areas (anal/vaginal area and nipple/lower belly area) within the perimeters and expectations of a proper show coat. We are not exactly a show dog we are kind if too tiny and fumbly and first timery but we are practicing handling and management techniques cause one day mama wants to show I have downloaded the PDF under the grooming sticky and I do have books and of course we have managed our hygiene maintenance thus far but I want to know what I can and should trim where and how while growing out the show coat from the mouths of experience if you wouldn't mind sharing. I have already gotten some great references that have really helped us with various aspects of our endeavor thus far and they are greatly appreciated. We are always growing and learning

| I use a rechargeable Wahl Arco clipper to do the sanitary trims (poopie hole & wee wee areas). Also the under paw pads, underbelly & inner thighs. I have this one but in Pink, it's very quiet. It comes w/xtra rechargeable batteries & detachable combs. Linked this site bc it was the best price I found on google.

When you say under tail, do you mean the butt area? I only trim the hair that's growing out of their poopie hole bc if that's not trimmed, poopie can get stuck on there. I do not shave the bum area & the area under the poopie hole (the runway). If you shave this area, you'll end up w/ baboon butt! You'll want to use a #10 blade for the sanitary areas.

| When Mimi was in full length coat, I shaved the whole underside up to her chest to help keep her cooler in the summer. We couldn't tell she was nekkid down there bc her hair covered it. I also tied the sides like a curtain when it got really hot. Loll I think it will be super funny, cute & pink!

| I was just reading this because I am needing to trim Mandie's girlie areas better and when I got to the post about "the runway" and the "baboon butt", I lost it. LOL @ Jenny
