Well done Claire, I think you've done a great job. I agree with others I'd clip top bit of ears and tidy up the tail.

What a tremendous job, I chopped Elgar's feet the other night and that took me nearly an hour what with trying not to be eaten and holding a wriggling pup.  Hats off to you, are you local to me??  ;)

Looks great - I always end up with the front leg feathers looking like they've been stuck on later  ::)

I clip down lou's ear inside and out leaving all the long hairs, makes it much easier when he's been in the mud  :shades:

Sam looks fantastic, how long did it take you to do? I'll have to learn how to do it myself - Gari looks like a big curly bush just now! :005:
It took about 2 hours ph34r but we kept stopping to give Sam a break.
Glad you all like it , we used Dave the Bandits pictures as our guide.
Thanks to all who post abwith grooming tips I read them all and they helped. Thanks also to the people I have met who have given me lots of hints and tips. I want a shed like yours Karen  ;)

I think you did a great job, and with the tips your next attempt with be perfection!

Tbh two hours on your first attempt is pretty good. I hand strip Barney so can't really compare apart from to say it takes me flipping ages! After clipping my American Cocker for six months I've got that time down to 3 hrs so I think you were very speedy! I'm sure the experts will be much quicker of course!  :shades:  :005:
