I am grateful for the careful explanation and guidance given. I have a cocker spaniel, working style not show, and she looks like a mini springer so now she sports a springer cut and looks great! Thank you.

Excellent, excellent video !!! Thank you so much.

Gorgeous springer Ty for the video will try on my own pups

Beautiful dog. I will try the coat flattening technique on mine x

I am having trouble with Part 2 of your video. Do you have it available on DVD? This is the best video I have seen on grooming Springer's. Thanks.

Great videos!!

The app for my iPhone and iPad only play 3 seconds but when I go to the full site through a browser I can see the entire video. Thanks for checking! (:-}

Do you have any other KZread videos other than this 3 parts. You are an amazing teacher.

+Lynn Loving - No, these are my only grooming videos. I did them years ago for some friends who were trying to groom their Springers, that's all :-) Thank you!

Hi - I just checked it on my computer and my phone and it loaded and ran without any problems... Maybe try reloading the page?

I tried to watch the 2nd of 3 videos and the 2nd video was only 3 seconds long. I think something happened to the video. I am really interested in these videos because I am learning to groom my 6 springers.

how many teeth on that thinner.. and are they true thinners or are they blenders?

This was back in the day, I used a "44/20 Taper Fine thinner" which is actually really a blender since one side is a straight blade. By far my favorite thinners these days are the Kenchii 46 tooth 5 Stars, also actually blenders. I do have one pair of actual thinners with teeth on both sides, made by Talyn, but I rarely use them as the teeth hit together.

What grooming products do you use ie. Shampoo / conditioner or sprays ?

I like to try new things, so I have quite a few favorites. Some favorite shampoos are Furminator, Kenic Emu Oil, Isle of Dogs Whitening or "Stay." I don't use much conditioner, just rinse them in dilute vinegar (like 1/2 cup in a gallon) and leave it in. Sometimes I mist the coat with Isle of Dogs Detangler, or The Stuff. If I think they need a real conditioner I use Cure Care or Aussie Moist (human conditioners.) For show prep I use a bunch of different products, but that covers the maintenance stuff!

Do you not ever use a #7F?

I don't, as I am trying to approximate a show trim ( where you do not clip the top coat at all) so a 7F is too short for my taste. But if you like a shorter trim it is a good choice. Just makes it a little more blending work to make sure you don't get the dreaded "hula skirt" look as the top blends into the feathering!

this grooming is for shows ?

No, this video shows how I pet groom my retired show Springers. For dogs actively being shown you could not use clippers on the back, and there is a lot more work done than this, especially a lot of thinning shear work and shaping of the underline.

just doesn't get any prettier than that
