Top knot, or not...

[Sarah/G]

Yes Brodie has a Fro hee hee, the wetter he gets the curlier the top knot  xx

I used to love a top knot but once I've had smooth down the top 1/3 of their ears I prefer the whole expression. You could always have smooth and grow it out 

On the basis it can always grow out.....the clippers have been out......on their longest setting just in case and the stripping knife......so that's it, Pearl now has no top knot  

Have to say she didn't like it happening but seems much happier with no hair dangling in her eyes......

I'm giving her a break for the rest of the day but will start again tomorrow with the thinning scissors to even it up a bit and will post a photo once I'm happy with the result [which may be the weekend after an emergency trip to the groomers ]

Aw bless Pearly P, she now is topless 
I bet she still looks gorgeous, I can't wait for piccies of the little Lady.
Tell Miss P, she can still sit on my lap even if she is Nakey  xxx

Rip top knot  I'm a total fan of them!!! Just so cute 

[Pearly]

end result although it looks better now she's slept on it for a while so it's lying flat...didn't help that she is full of static so the top knot was vertical before the clippers came out

I like the new look Jayne, Pearl looks very smart.

You look proper grown up and no more hair falling in your eyes. I like them both ways but Penny has her short on top.

[Sarah/G]

Miss P looks beautiful Jayne, you have done a lovely job.
Gorgeous xxx

She looks absolutely gorgeous with her new haircut but I have to confess I much prefer the smooth look on Spaniels.

Ah, she looks lovely  you've left her ears high set iyswim so i don't think she looks so "domey headed" therefore she still looks puppyish to me. 

I have been having the same problem with Rubys' coat being static,and i am sometimes too.I find a rub down with a tumble dryer sheet helps....(not on me,on Ruby  )

thank you for all your kind comments...I've only left her ears high set as she was really fed up with me messing around with the scissors  that and I really didn't have a clue what I was doing 

Great tip about the tumble dryer sheet thank you

Good job done there, she looks so cute.

As promised - the photo after professional grooming



I did make the mistake of asking for a show-cocker-head though.....she has no eyebrows and stubble for whiskers.......they'd better grow back before Archie arrives for his holiday, he may think she's a boy!
