Villette- I too have a list that I keep in his carrier that has everything that I want done... Most of the time I bathe and condition at home, but othereise.. here is my list...
1-bathe/condition
2-clip nails
3-shave pads of feet
4-pluck hair in ear canal
5-clean ears
6-check anal glands and express if needed
7-shave hair on back and tips of ears...generally clean them up
8- scissor trim his face...NO clippers anywhere on his face!
9-hygeine clip ("willy" area and bottom)
10-scissor trim his legs and feet and skirt...just a trim to shape
That is my list, but I have Tino in a full coat, well, I'm working on it. As far as the clippers on the face...my suggestion is that if you are going to keep his hair on this head long and you are going to put in a topknot, then don't let them trip the hair between his eyes. Its like having bangs... it grows the fastest and it shoots straight in their eyes when it grows out... and let me tell you it takes FOREVER to get it to grow out so tht you can put it up again! I made this mistake when Tino was a puppy and first went to the groomer. The groomer told me that they always use clippers there unless the dog is in a show coat... I swear its taken forever and its a pain in the butt!
Here are some pics of Tino after is grooming appts... The first is the pic of him as a puppy and you can see where they shaved his face. This pic was taken in October... The other pics were taken in Feb... 5 months and look at how little the hair on his face grew! For some reason the hair on his body grew just fine, but not those pesky little hairs that poke in his eyes and won't stay in a top knot! |
I have a question about the trimming around the eyes my groomer said if i don't keep it cut back she will have bad eyesight to trim and cut to look very neat? Is this not true?
