Here is bichon puppy that came in the other day for his first trim.

He's got a few short spots, his mom has been doing a bit of "home grooming" LOL

thats a cutie Shona! is it a baby Bichon,or a mix??

here is a dog i did recently...was nice to do something a bit different and some style...we were outside with the camera,i think its blown his hair a bit !

Yes he is a puppy, 6mos old and just starting his coat change. He was very wiggly, they took him to petssomething for the puppy special and they apparently told them that they had never seen a dog move so much that they couldn't groom him, duh he's a puppy of course he wiggles.
Your groom looks lovely, looks like it has a great coat for scissoring.

Nice grooms, they're both great!

I love the cute head on the Bichon puppy, I love Bichons!
I like the legs on the second dog, even the transitioning in the colour on the legs is cool.

I have some before and after’s on my computer, nothing spectacular but I will see what I have and try to post something too.

Here is a cockapoo before and after

The Bichon is too cute. I love puppy grooming!!! They can be neurotic, just like me, I guess.

Crikey - what a FAB groom!! The body and legs are flawless!!

Shona - The cockapoo is a great groom... Did the owners attempt beforehand (looks like a short butt in the before pic LOL) Anyways, the dog is looking much more comfortable now. I like the way you trim feet.

Thank you. Yes I think the cockapoo had a butt biscuit and the owners trimmed it off LOL.

ewww butt biscuit!

all those grooms are excellent! good job!

I've never groomed a cock-a-poo before and every one that i've seen pictures of seems to have those sort of ledge bangs.. is that how most owners want them done?

I think the bangs emerge due to the shape of the head. The majority seem to have cocker shaped skulls so if you trim the bangs to short they look odd. JMHO

ah, that makes sense.. I can see what you're talking about in the pics. Good to know just incase I get one!

oh my gosh! those ears are priceless, what a cute little one. Is this puppys first groom? What did you use on him?

It was his first groom, he was so funny, barking at everyone and acting like a big tough guy. I used the yellow Wahl SS comb and scissored his legs. I was going to give him a airedale type trim but he was so wiggly. Great personality I wanted to steal him and take him home.
