SHORT CUT
|
|
| The easiest way is to shave with a blade, like a 3 3/4 that leaves a bit more hair and then wait a month or so for it to grow in. That's what gives you the perfect evenness. |
GUEST wrote: I have noticed in some of the posting photos.....on the shorter cuts (not shaved), the hair seems to be 2 to 3 inches (?) and is rounded all over. Nice appearance. What is the secret to this and can a novice to it? I am thinking on cutting mine down for the first time this year. Also, what is the best method to get a nice flat cut on the bottom - thinning shears or regular scissors?
The cut you are talking about isn't as easy to do as you would think. Even experienced groomers & breeders prefer not to do puppy cuts. Requires a lot of scissoring. Very stressful for the dog & the person doing it, especially if they are not very experienced in grooming & trimming. As Jill said, the best & easiest way for a newer person to get that look is to brush the dog out until mat-free, shave with a 3-3/4 blade & then wait 2 months! |
My groomer specializes in Poodles and Bichon Frise, both in show coats. So she is quite good with scissors. I think both Tonks and Luna's cuts were scissor cuts last summer:
I look at this photo, almost a year old, and I cannot believe how dark thier coats were! |
You can get a longish cut over the body using a comb attachment on the clippers, that's easy IF there's no mats. But my groomer scissors the legs, tail and face. Thats not so easy, especally if they dont like to stand still.  |
