dog grooming
« on: March 08, 2008, 03:38:42 pm »
I groom my own dogs.  I worked in a grooming salon all through highschool and they taught me the basics.  I can groom our springer into a somewhat show cut but dont really worry about getting it perfect.

Here is my question: Does anyone know of a good grooming book that shows the different cuts of different breeds.  I have a friend that has 2 mini poodles, a westie, and a yorkie. 

She has asked if I would groom them for her becasue she feels like they are being neglected at the groomers.  I did clip the mall as puppies just keeping their "potty" areas clipped and their little feet and faces clipped but am not sure on how to clip the whole body and she wants thier breed clippings. 

In the last couple of months at the grooming salon I was clipping dogs but just basic shave downs and really dont remember the different patterns.  Anyone know of any books?
