Quote from: butterflywings21 on April 17, 2014, 11:42:03 AMHow do I trim the front of her legs so it leaves feathers at the back. Is there any website or videos that show how to groom well?? I have looked on line but they all vary. I only really want to clip her ears underneath and under her chin down to breastbone if I can.Just leave them be, it'll grow that way naturally

tried her feet this evening, tricky is an understatement . not knowing how much to take off, so worried i'll cut her skin. slow and steady, i'll do a bit each day. still need to get clippers for her ears and chest, now not sure which of the Andis to go for as it sounds like I'll use more thinning scissors to do the areas.

One of the advantages of doing it yourself. My personal opinion is that thinners will take the head down more naturally if you are still stripping the body. The same with the legs really. You can strip the legs if you think she will let you. By all means clip the tops of ears & throat on a pet groom. These areas are more difficult to scissor. I use a 10 blade on pet grooms on both these areas. It very much depends on the look you want to how you want to groom her. It does sound like you want to keep as natural as possible, which is why I suggest the thinners where stripping is not possible in places. Practice deffo makes perfect here. Take it slowly an little and often as you say. You'll soon get the hang of it & have her just how you want.

Again I would use thinners there. You'll be a dab hand with them before long.
Thank you so much. You have been so helpful. Wished you lived next door then I'd be bugging you to show me.
