Some owners
desire whiskers to be clipped, but be sure
they DO want them off first! Use scissors -
never clippers, as clipper marks on the face
of a Borzoi is a definite no-no and the
whiskers will remain stubbly. It's helpful to
put a finger inside the lip right under the
whisker before you cut, and doing each one
individually is best if you have time. The
Borzoi should look as natural as possible,
with any trimming being very discreet and
well-blended. Use thinning shears as opposed
to straight whenever possible. Top-cutting the
heavier hairs on a Borzois coat may cause it
to become quite harsh in texture! To thin the
coat, use thinning shears underneath, against
the skin, carefully(!), and do in small
amounts at a time. Any conditioners used on
Borzoi after shampooing should be carefully
chosen. Choose your conditioner carefully.
Some are fine to help prevent tangles but they
may also weigh down the coat too much. It is
usually best to apply the conditioner already
diluted in water. Submitted by Deb West - Ferlinka
