I usually get my baby hand-stripped by a reputable groomer, however I have recently moved quite a distance away so it isn't practicle to travel back. I therefore phoned around a number of local groomers for someone who could hand-strip. The person that I took her told me that although she didn't specialise in hand-stripping cockers, she did it for other breeds. However, imagine my dismay when I collected her today to find that she had been attacked by the dreaded clippers!!!! She did leave her feathers to a degree, but you can see that they have been clipped, as well as the rest of her body. Please help, as I am frightened that my baby may end up with a Kevin Keagan hairdo!
