Help!!!! Ears!!!
« Reply #15 on: June 17, 2003, 11:41:59 PM »
Before i had Griffy neutered i only had to trim his ears and feathering, then i started handstripping cos his fur went thick, but his fur has now gone wild and bushy so i am considering clipping him, is this a good idea?

Sometimes clipping is the only option - my oldest is a neutered golden and he needs to be clipped off as his coat became thick and wavy. In between grooming sessions, I use the coatking to try and keep it under control a bit more.

How much am I supposed to take off near his hocks?  :- Any advide is gratefully received. :)

For trimming back legs I brush all the fur down so it goes over the hocks place my hand on the leg and fingers so the hock is at the back and then trim off all the excess.  Not very good at explaining this type of thing, sorry  ??? I do the same with the back of the foot - holding the back foot in my hand from the joint down I place my fingers as a measure and trim off all the excess.

Hope this makes sense.

Dessie, its not your explanation, just me :-X ;D
I think its one of those things where you actually need to see someone in action, so to speak, then it would propably all fit into place, I can hear myself saying "OOOOOHHHH, I GET IT NOW ::) ;D"
