Grooming Book?

Can anyone recommend a good grooming book for the OES breed? I looked and there are so many out there.. :?

I never groomed a dog myself. Well, usually I do it while a pup but when the coat gets long, its out to the groomer regularly. I would like to try it myself. Of course, if we do show, I will again go to pro but in between, I figure I can do it!

Any recommendations? Looking for how to cut, supplies, etc.

Thanks,
Diane

I would suggest doing a search on Amazon or even Ebay for some good books... I don't think any have been written recently so you might need to look for older ones...

In the meantime you may find this helpful

I like the comment at the very end!
There is one that is full of grooming information, what tools to use, grooming, trimming, bathing, quick clean ups etc.. It has been out of publication for quite a few years and is hard to get, might be able to source one from a second hand book shop. It also comes with diagrams too. :D

The Care and Grooming of Old English Sheepdogs" by Monique Carrie're.
Published by " Best Read Books Ltd, 444 Pleasant Park Road,

Thanks for the recommendation on the book. Maybe I can find on ebay..

And to Willowsprite, thank you for the link. I copied it and printed it it was so informative. Thanks so much :)

I saw another book, "Notes from the Grooming Table" by Melissa Verplank. Will look into that one too..anyone familiar with it?

Maybe I should just take a course at Adult Ed :wink:
