You might start by trimming a little off and see if you like it,if yes then go for a little more. The body is easier to do with electric shears and a deep comb. I use a #8 but that leaves the hair about an 1 1/4 long. The feet,belly,face and legs I use haircutting scissors,still learning to use the shears. Both of my poodles are scissor trimmed only,they dont like the noise but Mina is such a good girl she doesn't mind. You can find the scissors and shears at a beautiy supply,I have found a wider range of choises at Sally's. There are some GREAT tutorials in the library here,even a Youtube to watch,be sure to check that out. Good luck! |
