My yorkie x (looks like a yorkie) is looking a mess so im giving her a hair cut, she may not look much better after though, depends if she keeps still long enough :o :D
Do you cut your dogs hair yourself or do they go to what i call a pooch parlor?
 
Henry goes to the barbers but I am steeling myself to buy clippers and start doing it myself - it costs too much! (I know there is a good reason it is expensive, groomers of AAD, but I am skint, so don't go all yelling at me):D
 
Iv been cutting her hair myself since i bought her as a puppy (well when it grew too long) and she is nearly 3.
I don't even use clippers, i use grooming scissors. I would send her somewhere to have it done but i know she wouldn't like it.
 
It depends on how I wanted it grooming. If it were a case of clipping it in some sort of fashion for the dog and my benefit I'd do it myself, if it needed to be a posh-do for a show I'd take it to a posh groomer.
I am well practised in the standard, any variety, short ack and sides dog clip :D :D
 
I just need to know where to get clippers from - I seem to remember I asked this before and people were telling me to get a £90 set:eek:
 
My very first Border Terrier had bit of doo stuck to his rear and instead of doing the sensible thing and just snip it off with scissors, I decided, in a moment of complete and utter madness, to remove the offending piece of shonk with the beard trimmer attachment on my husbands shaver. I was a little over-zealous and poor boy ended up with a very sore bot.:eek: Had to make a trip to and explain to (very bearded) vets, explain to husband how dog had ended up with a sore bot and subsequent vet bill and explain and incur the wrath of my mother-in-law - who's a pro dog groomer:o
 
Don't be such stooges:rolleyes: and get them mutts to the groomers:p I have had some yorkies in that the owners attempted to do..........well I say no more, I had a good laugh though:D:D one poor little mite had one of his ear snipped off:eek:
You have to be very careful with the thin skinned little pooches they are easy to nick and cut in the untrained hand:p
All dogs get used to the groomers, a good groom will make sure they go steady and they are far quicker than you:D:D
I jsut bought some new clippers aswell, they cost me £125, no cheapies for me:p:p:p you get the quality you pay for:p:D
 
Yes, but I don't have to pay for all his haircuts all at once!:rolleyes:

I haven't got £90:( If I had, I would have boots that don't let water in:(
 
I would send Cassie to a groomers to have her hair cut but would want somewhere recommended as she can be nervous. We sent our lab to a groomers once and he couln't get out fast enough (this is a dog who gets excited going to and at the vets) and he hasn't been back since.
