| My first attempt at grooming!! Please be honest when giving advice. Don't tell me that I did a crappy job because well, i AM an amateur! I'm learning! I, however, am VERY pleased with how they turned out!! I keep my babies short because they are NOT show dogs and are VERY active. I did cut Honey a bit too short for my liking but it was my fault because i used a 1/8" blade on her and a 1/4" on Bindi. Either way, here's my results!

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I think you did a fine job. I sometimes cut mine this short also. It is so much easier. I have been trying to figure out the puppy cut. I have three to practice on

| I agree, you did a very good job! I too think it's fun and the bonding time is one of the things I love the most about it. Keep up the good work and you find ways you like it and ways not so much.

| ive realized the only way i can get it the way *I* like it.. is to do it myself. and like yall said experiment. i had a blast and they both did GREAT! didn't like getting their faces done as much but i can understand that :P. i was surprised because one doesnt like to get blow-dryed so i assumed she wouldnt like getting groomed and nothing! perfect angel! thanks for the compliments!!! means a lot
