Many many many hours later and very tired, he looks a bit more cockery now!! Nobody told me that show grooming is so difficult
, now that I've tried, I have such enormous respect and admiration for you, "the showgroomers". Below is a pic of Dad and Ollie learning to pose for the camera. Dad thinks it's silly!! Ollie can hold the pose but his tail is still wagging!!(bless him)
I have so many questions and perhaps made a lot of mistakes!! Still dunno how to do the hindquater bit, round the hocks and bend of the stifle. Maybe I've cut too much of the feathering... what do you think? I'm no good at handstripping at all. In the video the dog is very quiet when Jackie pulls chunks of hair out of her but when I do the same to Ollie, he yelps in pain and tries to bite me!!!
Am I doing something wrong?? I persisted even though he whines I just hope I'm not cruel. Dad is very cross with me for stressing Ollie out. Does anyone else experience the same problem or is it just me ?
