Toohey Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Front leg. I take most of it off, including the side you don't see, as well as clip out their underarms which is whre grass seeds can catch and knots can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaywoman68 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Orson has never had that much feathering. Oi can have but I've cut most of it off !!!! But then, they're not show Cockers They haven't been done for about 4 - 5 weeks now. Orson Oi In the process of ordering a new blade I love the look of the show Cockers but I'm happy looking at them :D Edited February 25, 2007 by kaywoman68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toohey Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Chest and throat, take most of it off, just clip down to the sternal notch and straight down the shoulders, leaving them exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky in Oz Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 This is a HUGE help. Thanks Toohey and KW! I can see the lines quite clearly. I like the short legs, it looks smart. If I grow skirts like that I won't have to sweep the wooden floor anymore! Aha! Good point about the grass seed catching area. Thanks, Toohey. i'll print this all out in colour at work. Thank you!

Toohey Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Last one cos I like the look on his face. (His foot is not like that naturally) Clipping is just one part of it. The thinners are used to blend in the edges where the feathering starts, then straight scissors to trim the feet. I use clippers and thinners on his face and head too. Hope that helps. Leo has gone for his nap now :D Edited February 25, 2007 by Toohey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I would suggest maybe getting them done professionally & then mantaining the shape every 4 weeks depending on the clippers you have,Its easier to clip a little off than alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thanks Leo and Toohey. That was very good. I may just have a go at Maggies legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Becky, if you would like to drop in for a visit, happy to help where I can. I tend to lean to the "hairier" side of clipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've just attacked my girls with a #10 blade all over. V short now, but incredibly adorable when it starts to grow back with soft, short waves. We walk ours through long grass fairly regularly so I prefer to keep them shorter as it is easier to find seeds. Poor darling were giant fluff balls though until this weekend!

Vehs Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Toohey - have you got any shots of you mob when they start to grow out from that very short clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toohey Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've only got this one from a couple of years backk. I let leo's coat grow out and used a coat king on it for a few months. This is the result. It is debulked a lot, but still unruly and wayward. I went back to clipping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky in Oz Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well I have used your guidelines and expertise, Toohey to clip Maverick and Gomez. Their fur has always been clipped very, very short, so this is the foundation to the grooming style you and more to the point, LEO, modelled on page 2. You won't be able to see what I have done, the feathering is more like 'downing' there is so little there. I am going to take a shower and get all this itchy fur off me and out of my nose. I'll be back later in day to post piccies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
