COAT & GROOM TIPS

Some owners desire the whiskers to be clipped, but you should first check with the owner. Use scissors.

The finished appearance can often be improved using a final coat conditioner (the type applied AFTER the bath). Most of these conditioners, used sparingly, are lightly rubbed onto the coat, and then distributed with a light, gentle brushing. Some groomers then lightly rub the conditioned areas with a chamois cloth to produce more gloss. The maintenance interval grooming using a natural bristle brush helps to maintain a shiny coat.

Thinning shears can be used to remove stray hairs especially on ears.
MORE GROOMING TIPS FOR PROFESSIONALS

Careful. It's easy to get water in the ears of this breed when bathing. Use cotton balls and caution to prevent that from happening.

Apply a natural gentle skin cream to elbow calluses.

These books contain little or no breed specific grooming information. They do provide very good to excellent general breed information. Of course, having pictures of the breed is a great help when grooming the breed compared to having nothing else.
