Thanks to anybody that can answer these for me! |
I wouldn't trim the hair on the legs or coat but shaping the feet is all you would need to do as far as cutting hair
Bathe him in a good shampoo and make sure he's clean around the eyes and ears and over all. He's still a baby so not much coat grooming as much as you'd have with an adult. If he's curly which they shouldn't be just use the iron and smooth out the coat which helps to make them more polished.
I don't do much with a puppy as far as getting too excited on alot of coat grooming but they are clean and shiney and the top knot is pretty. I make it more fun for the puppies when they are young. I don't fuss alot about coat grooming on a 6 month old puppy to me it's all about fun but of course they have to have manners
Hope this helps
And remember this is just how I do things other exhibitors do other things.
