I'm a total clucker! Luckily, my cousin is a professional groomer. I don't pluck, cut nails, express anal glands, I do give baths though!

Im a clucker! I let the groomer do it too.

I don't do either...I shave the inside (as much as I can with a hair trimmer) and thats about it. I think that plucking would hurt him and I don't think he would stand for it at all! I think his ears are still cute! Am I a bad mommy?

I guess you can call me a clucker, because I don't do it, I do however groom Bell myself and I trim the ear hairs inside but never pluck them, I feel they need that small amount of hair, it protects the inner ear.

Well, I have always been a clucker. But now I groom them totally by myself, except for that. So, yesterday, I had to take my Chewy in...she had a foxtail in one ear, and both ears had an accumulation of wax and hair in there. The vet plucked her ears, and told me to keep the hair out of there (not way down in, just near the opening). He grabbed a lot, and she didn't flinch. Then he shaved around there, too. It made her face look a little thinner....lol............so I am going to try it from now on.
