Title: Yippee!!!
Post by: CarolineL on November 23, 2006, 11:27:10 AM

Hurley is finally booked in to the groomers - people were starting to refer to him as a bear rather than a cocker!!  ::)

I called up today and the earliest the groomer can come and see us (she is mobile with a van!!) is Wednesday 6th December - I am clearly in the wrong business!!

This is him at the moment .... http://photo.ringo.com/169/169105996O806222683.jpg (http://photo.ringo.com/169/169105996O806222683.jpg)  ::)  ::)

I think I would probably prefer to keep his top knot abeit a little less fluffy and get his ears trimmed a bit shorter and I would prefer to have him stripped rather than clipped and just really want to get rid of the puppy fluff and hopefully reveal a lovely coat!!!

Is there anything I need to ask for specifically or just give instructions as above? I really dont want to have my baby coming back with no fur!

Thanks

I asked a similar question last week and it is in here somewhere...

What do I ask for?

I wrote a long list just so the groomers knew what I wanted and had a firm picture in their mind. It does take a few days to get use to them when they have had a hair cut but now I look back at the pictures and can not believe how much fluff she had this time last week. She was called a wolf in the park so I knew it was time to book her in.

I'm not sure that many mobile groomers do hand-stripping?  Most groomers feel it is too time-consuming.

Maybe phone them to check what they will be able to do?

Thanks sportsmonki - I already confirmed that she did this.

Thanks Saffie - I have looked on your post and will be printing up your pics to show the groomer what I want Hurley to look like!!
