A cute Westie

• A cute Westie kennel_keeper Posted : 3/25/2007 4:31:35 PM I just had to share a photo of one of my grooming clients.   This is Bailey, she's quite a little devil!   The first one (hopefully) is a before shot and the second one is an after pic.     LIKE 7 REPLIES 688 VIEWS LAST POST JENNIE_C_D Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 3/25/2007 9:15:23 PM Very cute!!! Do you clip her or strip her? She has a pretty texture to her coat. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willgroom4chocolate Posted : 3/25/2007 11:00:17 PM Wow, you do a great Westie!  Since you obviously know your stuff, how did you get that dog's topknot to stay up like that?  It seems like all the adorable Westies that leave my shop have heavy/droopy topknots.[8D]    I would appreciate some hints![] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kennel_keeper Posted : 3/26/2007 4:39:18 AM Thanks all.   Bailey's coat is not the best, but better than most "pet" quality westies.   I clip her back and throat/neck and scissor her head/face/skirt. My trick with the head is to use blending (thinning) shears to do the head. Also, when drying the coat, dry in the opposite direction of the coat growth to get it to "stand up". I'm still learning, but love doing the terrier breeds, as their always such a challenge [sm=crazy.gif]  There's a great book that I use called "notes from the grooming table" which is a fantastic reference.   Here's one of her from the side.     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willgroom4chocolate Posted : 3/26/2007 6:37:56 AM Well, I only use thinning shears on the face anyway.[]  Drying in reverse is something I will try.   Notes from the grooming table is an awesmoe book!  I refer to it constantly.  The graphics in that book are just wonderful. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
