Scissors....  Honestly, unless I'm shaving a dog practically to the skin, I hand scissor head and legs (or at least feet). I'm not sure of you can get that rounded look with a clipper, but I'd love to hear if someone has had success that way. Way back when I used a groomer for my first OES I was resigned to picking up either a poodle or a terrier, depending on her mood that day   Kristine |
| I agree with using the scissors. I do full body scissor on my OES's. It is much easier to shape and give the rounded look on the head. Plus I just like the whole look. The only time I use the clipperer is to trim around the genitals and clip knots behind the ears. I have a curved blade scissors that does a nice job and around the eyes, i do an upside down smile and kinda feather in with a thinning shears. They look cute and puppyish. I also found if I use anything higher higher than a 10 blade, they get nasty rashes, which creates other problems. |

A giant bichon would have been an IMPROVEMENT on what I used to bring home But that's a lot more work. Agree most commercial groomers have no clue what do so, so they do their best. In this area, both WI and IL, we have OES breeders who make their living grooming. There's one in PA, too. Probably others. I bet they have a lot of OES clients!KB |
| If ypur looking for a big fluffy head then say a #8 attachment comb, that gives around 2" or show her on your finger how long you want it. Even better show her a picture I agree scissors are best for heads but if shes already using scissors and gettingit wrong.. You can even request for her to leave the head to last and ask to be there Good luck |
| Well, the groomer just called to ask me to reschedule. She needs two people to do my big guy Bowie properly. He is VERY difficult. So we are going next week instead of this week. I must say, this new groomer is really great. She handles both my dogs with no problem. She gets on the floor to groom the big boy Bo as he can't get up on the table so easily And she refused to muzzle him when doing his nails and ears - as I warned her to do..Yet, he comes home looking great...but not so rounded in the head area...sort of flat like... She really does a good job in all other respects...just needs some help with the rounding head... I will bring her a pix for next week... |
