smore, your parti girl is gorgeous! Growth really does depend on the dog. I have two Standards who are hair factories, my third Standard grows slower, thank DOg! LOL I groom them myself at home, although Lucia's handler does her (I only shave FF&T).

Foyerhawk · 05-15-2009, 06:56 PM

Great grooms all...

Graco, I love that Doxie...what a cutie! I got to strip out a Cairn the other day...of course that was the day I forget the camera too...the owners loved how he turned out though; he had to go pretty naked too.

I love that you guys groom dogs and keep their coats so nice because it really helps the health of the dog overall! You could save a dogs life!

bugster23 · 05-16-2009, 06:40 PM

wow.. all the pictures are just... wow...

i used to work in a shop where you could watch the groomers though the glass...

its really wonderful how gracefull and fast you guys work.... you have my utmost respect!

This is Inky
He is very difficult to groom, he is very snappy and awkward, he can't keep still for more than two seconds!
Not helped by the fact that is owner gives him treats while she tries to brush him, thus rewarding his bad behaviour

Tangles_42 · 05-19-2009, 10:21 AM

SHOCKING !!!!!!

His little face is still very stained, but he must feel a lot better.

Foyerhawk · 05-19-2009, 10:34 AM

That is abuse! Good lord! Poor baby. He looks 100% better after your loving touch.

Foyerhawk · 05-19-2009, 10:38 AM

I only have afters... here is a beautiful Golden Retriever I groomed after rescuing her, she was a MESS before I got my hands on her... I stripped out tons of fluffy white spay coat and a lot of burrs and she had two inch toe feathering- gross! Don't mind the Obama stuff, this was election day! lol The 2nd one, standing, is another Golden rescue right after I got him, took him to the beach, and cleaned him up.

I am not a professional- I learned from dog shows. I have, however, been a brusher/bather and done some private grooming. These are all I have to share... before and afters of my Whippet wouldn't be too exciting!

Tangles_42 · 05-19-2009, 11:16 AM

Hi foyerhawk, your goldens look lovely. Its nice to see well groomed dogs after the morning I've had with that poor little Yorkie.

Foyerhawk · 05-19-2009, 11:52 AM

Thanks, they sure did turn out nice.

That poor Yorkie... that makes my heart hurt! At least they finally took him to get groomed, but damn.

I guess this is about as far as I can go with "grooming" for my Whippet lol

Graco22 · 05-19-2009, 04:54 PM

Oh that poor Yorkie...I just don't understand how an owner can look at or touch their dog looking like that...horrible..but I see it too, so it happens way too much. You did a great job fixing him up.

I am glad this thread came alive again. I have some pics I have been meaning to resize and get up here..so this was the kick in the rear I needed.

SMoore · 05-21-2009, 12:21 AM

That Peke/Tibbie(?) is lovely.

dogbuddy · 05-26-2009, 09:39 PM

hello everyone,

i'm just soo happy to see the before and after of all the dogs featured here

i can't believe i spent half an hour looking at all those cute and gorgeous dogs

Love's_Sophie · 06-02-2009, 01:03 AM

Here's a couple; I'm finally remembering to bring the camera to work with me again...

These two were mainly 'fluff and puffs' today, although the parti got his face, feet, sanitarys, and other light trimming done. My boy, the Apricot, got his back rescissored, as I have been working on getting him into the German style...I think we're pretty much there, now, yay; just needs more leg furnishings.

First, the parti...this guy is a total wimp...doesn't stand, tries to hang himself, tries to jump off table, etc, etc...; I'm not sure why I even do him for my boss, because I never really feel satisfied with how he looks when I'm done...Lol...even after just a bath and trim! I guess it's just that I like scissoring, and I don't mind doing 'difficult dogs'...

My boy...Sirius...Forgive the 'long bangs', I'm trying to grow them out so I can pull them back into a topknot; I know, I know, he's in a German, but hey, I like topknots, so why not? Lol!

Before...a VERY curly poodle!

After...oh yeah! HOT dog!!! Tehehehe....yeah, I'm biased...

Tangles_42 · 06-03-2009, 01:55 PM

Lovely grooms guys!

Sirius is gorgeous
