chin.
Stomach:
1) Stand dog facing you. Lift front legs and clip from a point above the testicles or vulva in a straight line to the end of the rib cage, using Fig. 9 as a guide.
DO NOT clip up leg. Use light pressure, being careful to not nick vulva, penis, testicles or nipples. Cover them with your hand.
2) Clip the hair on penis with the grain.
Body:
Tip: Stop frequently while clipping to fluff the hair. It will help keep the hair even.
1) Clip along the back, starting at the base of the skull, and cut down the middle of the back to the tail (Fig. 10). Shorten all hair as shown in the illustration,
starting at the neck.
2) See Fig. 11. Clip hair between the shoulders and hips. Clip under the chest from behind the front legs to the end of the rib cage.
3) Scissor trim to touch up.
Rear Legs:
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when clipping around the
"armpit" and the flank. These are areas of skin that are easy to
cut; especially on older dogs whose skin has loosened.
1) Brush the hair on the back legs in an upward and outward motion to fluff. You can now shape the legs as full or as tapered as you wish.
2) Start by trimming any hair that falls over the foot (Fig.12).
3) Starting at ankle, cut up to hip a little hair at a time (Fig. 13). Once you are at the hip, blend hair so it tapers into shorter body hair. (When using guide
combs on the legs, complete your stroke; don't stop midway.)
4) Repeat with other back leg, making it the same size as the first leg.
5) Touch up with scissors.
Front Legs:
1) With dog facing you, comb hair up and out.
2) Trim front legs to match back legs.
3) Comb up hair at shoulders and blend it with shorter body hair.
4) Comb hair on chest and between front legs; trim it to the length of the shoulder and body hair.
Head:
1) With dog facing you, comb hair on top of the head (topknot) upward and forward (Fig. 14).
2) Scissor cut a square or round topknot.
3) Blend lower topknot hair with the shorter neck hair.
Ears:
1) With dog facing you, clip from top of the ear downward. NEVER turn clipper in other direction.
2) Lay the ear in the palm of your hand. Clip the outside of the ear first, and then the inside (Fig. 15).
3) Hold ear with your free hand and scissor cut the sides. Be careful not to cut the ear itself (Fig. 16).
4) Repeat with other ear, and touch up any stray hairs.
Schnauzer
IMPORTANT: Trim your Schnauzer at least once before cropping ears. Otherwise your dog will probably associate clipping with cropping and make
grooming difficult.
1) With dog standing, clip top of back from the base of the skull to the base of the tail. Clip throat, front and sides of body and tail. Clip these areas with
the grain. Clip sides and back of rear legs toward hock; curve the sides into the hock. Do not clip the front of the rear legs.
2) Clip stomach from rear to front. Clip penis hair carefully with the grain. Clip skull from point above eyebrows to the base of the skull and to the ears.
Clip from the outside corner of the eyes to the base of the ears and to the corner of the mouth.
3) Clip both sides of ears from the base to the tip.
4) Scissor cut and trim front legs to gain a rounded and straight appearance. Scissor trim rear legs. Scissor trim eyebrows, muzzle and mustache to achieve a
straight and square look.
Airedale, Irish, Lakeland, Welsh and Wire Fox Terriers
If you plan to show your terrier and he has a wire coat, stripping, not clipping, is required. However, clipping is a far easier method of grooming for both
pet and groomer.
Clip the same way as the Schnauzer, except the rear legs which do not need clipping. Clip to blend sides of the dog into the hips.
Scissor cut and trim the eyebrows, muzzle and mustache to the recognized standard of the particular breed of dog.
Cockers, Setters and Spaniels
Sporting dogs generally require little clipping. However, long-haire breeds can be more effective in the field when properly groomed. Dogs should be
clipped several weeks in advance of the hunting season to facilitate better hunting,
offer greater comfort to the dog, and make coat care easier.
Clipping also allows growth of the shorter, denser coat that provides warmth and more resistance to burrs and stickers.
