Sam's Homemade 'Do
 ...but I just can't stay on top of a longer coat with all we have going on. So, I decided to try my hand at giving Sam a puppy cut. I've shaved him down before, but wanted to keep a little more length. The groomer at our vet's office had told me that Sam's hair was too thick for a guard. Well, I'm stubborn, so I decided to find out for myself. Turns out, the groomer was wrong. So, here's Sam's new 'do. And I'm excited that I can save the money I was paying the groomer.

| You did a nice job. I have a very good groomer, she does her best to keep Butchy in a puppy cut. |

I found a good one who doesn't think sheepies either need to be shaved down or made to look like poodles  , but she's about 40 minutes away. It'll be nice to not have to drive there and find ways to pass the time while I wait. |
| WOW great job!!! When I've done Tonks & Luna myself, its way less smooth and consistent looking. Your work looks marvelous! |
Looks Great!!!  What size guard and blade did you use? My Macie Grace has the thickest coat of all the 7 sheepies that owned me. I wind up doing a full body scissors on her (and Oliver). And I have to do it in stages because she isn't the most cooperative.  |

Bless his heart, every once in a while I see a stray hair and make him stand still while I get the scissors and snip it. dogmom wrote: Looks Great!!! What size guard and blade did you use?

And I have to do it in stages because she isn't the most cooperative. Thanks! I used a #10 blade with a 1 1/2 inch guard. There were a few spots where his hair was almost too thick to just run the clippers over easily, but if I did a smaller section at a time, it worked fine. I tried scissoring, but it was driving me crazy that I couldn't get it to look smooth.  I used the same guard on his whole body except his face. I just trimmed that up a bit with the scissors. |
| He looks great. |
| You did a great job. I'm working on Nonc and he doesn't look anywhere near as good. |
