I finally clipped/groomed Molo!
« on: July 28, 2007, 03:37:20 PM »
Well, I asked the questions, bought the clippers, read the book, watched the video (are those dogs drugged?  :005:) and finally took the plunge -  and here is the result:



Not too bad, I am extremely pleased with it - there are the odd stray hairs here and there, but all in all, not a bad first attempt, I don't think  ;)

Molo looks lovely, IMO you did a better job than most groomers do.  He looks very tidy and smart. Well done. :D

He does look great :shades:, but i know what she means, it always takes me ages to get used to Jarvis' newly clipped head as his eyes and ears seem to move an inch further up. :005:

I bought a *cheaper* pair of clippers in the end, cos I really wasn't sure how much of a mess I would make of it  ph34r

They only cost me the same as one professional clip does (the clippers were reduced to half-price) - so they have already paid for themselves, even if I never use them again  ;)

Now I know that I can do it - I am keeping my eye open for a decent set; even OH has agreed I can spend for them now he has seen that I haven't made Molo look like his little sister currently does  :005:

I've said it before on here but the Moser Rex ones are a great set of clippers for a semi professional finish...they are about 45 quid.

Well done Rachel, very good for a first attempt! I just did Bella today (my 3rd attempt) so will add a picture tomorrow but it's not much different to Molo. I'm finding gradually I'm getting slightly quicker at it but it didn't stop madam being in a foul mood after I'd finished (she's finally perking up now there's a fly for her to chase round the living room  ::) :lol:).

I've done Zorro twice but his coat is very different so it's almost a completely different kettle of fish. Bella's got a "wave" to her coat but Zorro's is absolutely straight, not even the slightest hint of a kink...

Well done, he looks great!  :shades:

He looks great! Well done you! I only attempted to clip my last dog twice before buggering up the clippers (cheap ones) and going insane with the amount of hair that seemed to find it's way up my nose >:D It's not an easy job and that's before factoring in wriggling spaniel  :005: :005:

I am wondering what an earth you did to Molo's tongue though to make it swell up like that  ;) :rofl1: :rofl1:
