I think if an owner requested that from me, I would have to extract a solemn promise that they told no one where they got their dog groomed  ph34r  :lol2:


I've done that before now too. It was a gold cocker but they liked the top knot left so floppy it was like an Afghan, and I wasn't to touch the beard (just like a billy goat) and the tail was to be left too. Trouble was that they didn't brush him as well as they should and so legs and under belly had to be clipped off. He looked hideous.
I said it in a very light hearted way "if anyone asks you where you got your dog done, please don't tell them I did it", I think they thought I was joking but I was actually deadly serious. >:(
Joules with Coco can vouch for the dogs look.  ph34r

I've got one like that too - I have to leave his top knot flopping over his eyes, then leave precisely 2 inches of curly tassel hanging off the tail (docked), then I have to make sure his boy bits are completely covered with hair (owner does not want to see them ::)) but everything else usually has to be clipped off as he gets so matted. It's not a good look but the customer is always right :005:

Jessie has just been to the groomers - we have had to have her quite short as she is ill she can't cope with the brushing to keep the knots at bay...she looks Ok I think..... :D



I regret having her spayed tbh cos its caused her to be incontinent and its made her coat go horrible and woolly.... ph34r

whaddya think :011:

This is my worst fear for Misha - her coat gets curlier by the day.  I'm terrified to take her to the groomers as I'm sure she'll come back with the weird skirt thing going on.  Most likely I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go for the full clip leaving ears and feathers only, but just can't bring myself to do it at the moment.

need more pics but I think she looks fine - would prefer slightly more feathering on her legs and tum but I'm sure that will grow quickly  :luv: :luv: :luv:

Okay, so in future bit more left on her tum and more feathering on the legs (there is a tiny bit believe it or not).

Will get DD to put a couple more pics on.

I think she looks great, really shiny and sleek and you can see her little white toes, Tills has those too :luv:  I would prefer a bit more leg feathering too but she looks lovely and you'll find it so much easier to keep her clean and dry! :shades: :luv:
