Diesel Has his first Grooming Appointment - WITH better AFTER PICS
« on: September 16, 2011, 07:42:03 AM »
Hey Guys

Well........Today is the day that Diesel is going for his first haircut. He is not too bad but some of him is soooooooo unruly.
I have told the Groomer what im wanting and have this lurvely picture in my head :)
I dont know why but i feel soooooo nervous about him going - Dreading picking him up and him looking like something other than a cocker  :005:
Did anyone else have these horrible butterflys and any horror stories about grooming?

Here is some before pics:

So get his Jedward 'do' trimmed'


And get his legs tidied up as its sooo long and unruly just now


The back of him AFTER


And from the front


 ph34r POOR BABY HAS UNEVEN FUR - IS IT JUST ME THAT CAN SEE THE CUT MARKS?


NO COCKER TRAITS LEFT :(



Sooooo dissappointed :( i wish i hadnt got him cut now  :'(

Betsy will be 4 months on Saturday 17th September and I have still to get her groomed.  I hope that Diesel turns out the way you want him to turn out.  You just never know what the groomer thinks they are going to do.  A bit like a hairdresser, when you say just take off the split ends and you end up with at least 6 inches taken off!!  >:D >:D ph34r

Just wanted to wish you luck.

Lots of love from Betsy and Lizzie xxx  :bigarmhug::luv::-*

There are quite a few horror stories on here about groomers who have completely shaved Cockers when that wasn't what the owner requested.

I'm sure Diesel will be absolutely fine, and it sounds like you've already told the groomer what you want done, but I think you should tell the groomer again on arrival just to be on the safe side. Is Diesel just having his paws and head tidied up and a bath? He shouldn't need too much doing at the moment as he's so young.

Yup thats what i told them - Tidy up his legs and feet, His bum and his Head as he sometimes looks like Jedward  :005:
I am Defo going to remind them when i go in - plus i told them NOT to touch his tail as if they cut off the end of his tail he will lose most of the white tipped end ...

Ill post up before and after pics :)
He is in at 12pm and your right, it is the same as the hairdressers and so thats how im worried lol

Looking forward to seeing the 'after' pics now! It's a good idea to start early and get him used to the experience. I'm struggling to find someone with cocker experience round here as we lost the lovely groomer who used to do Jess and the only other person who has been recommended is full up for now. I'm hoping Penny lasts out until this person has a place for her, otherwise I'll have to cope myself as I don't want her shaved yet! Her coat's so pretty...

I've still got to pluck up the courage to take Bailey - he's such a scruff, but he's my scruff, and I think his appearance goes with his personality somehow! He's bathed and brushed by me, and toes are trimmed but that's all. It's probably why most people don't know what breed he is, but I don't think he cares.

Depends on what you are having done & the coat condition.

We had a Cocker in last week his owner kept saying he wanted him Clipped but what he really meant was he wanted him Handstripped - Good job we checked!

Daisy is having her first grooming session today as well! She is nearly six months old and looks so fluffy at the moment. Thankfully, we already know the groomer as Dylan goes to her, so we know that she'll do a good job (hopefully!)  ;)
Hope all goes well for Diesel today x

Ooh Charlene - Diesel just looks so cute in those before pictures.  Hope all goes well.  TBH Pebbles is almost the same age and her coat looks about the same but haven't plucked up courage to have her clipped yet as not sure where to go.  I used to have our last cocker clipped by a mobile lady who did a lovely job but that was 8 years' ago  so not sure if she is still around.

Looking forward to seeing the after pictures.
