Ok it is the morning after the night before!
I set up my table and got out my grooming kit. Holly took one look at me and ran!!!! I'm not that bad at this! So after i found her and persuaded her that she did want to come with me (i appealed to her inner side with a treat!) we got to work. (please note 5 minutes in she was nodding off!)
I started on her head and happily chopped and stripped away following the instructions which i had kindly been given yesterday! (many thanks) And would you believe it - there is actually a cocker under all that fur!
I am having a bit of a problem. She has large roan patches on her forhead which are silky. I've tried stripping them but they are very stubborn. So i have resorted to the thinning sissors. Is this going to be ok for showing or should i perservere (painfully) with the stripping. And would a stripping knife help?
