Holy mackeral, that dog can imitate a rooster's call whoa!

What she says about the ear plucking is correct. Yes it is popular in the show circuit, but vets have proven that it does lead to an increase in infections while also causing unnecessary pain. My biggest issue with her techniques in this video is that she doesnt properly secure the dog which would allow for safer grooming. You can buy a device that connects to arm of your table so that you can attach the lead to the poll which doesnt allow your fog to do 360s and gives you better and safer control. You can see this being problem especially as she cuts the hair out of the ears. Instead of being able to safely secure the ear using her left hand she has to control the face because the dog is wiggling to much which could easily result in the ear falling into the scissors as she cuts.

Hi Sonya, Great video hope to see more, this is Pio with TESSIE

Thank you, I will

How is the head cut in the first puppy cut for my Lagotto--now 16 weeks old? Is his head shaved shaved?

Do you have a video of 1st puppy cut or can you recommend one? We have a 4.5 month old female roan who needs her first cut and I'd like to show the groomer a video so she doesn't end up looking like a poodle!

Yes, I would like to see the first puppy cut and some information about which blade to use thanks.

To anyone watching this for grooming tips, it’s best to hold the skin taught and ALWAYS ALWAYS go with the grain. Going agains the grain is more dangerous and can more easily cause skin to be cut by the blade

Also the correct was to hold a pair of shears is to use your thumb and ring finger.

@@52ls it does not matter how you hold it if it works for you. i am more concerned with how so many groomers are so jabby. jeez. that puppy is really good to take all of that. i use my all of my fingers, to varying degrees, depending on where i am cutting. i use my pinky to drag a bit into fur so i can feel any bumps and such as i go

She explained in the video to always go with the grain.

What brand is the shaver?

@@twobytwokennelsanddogcare8402 you literally need to do your research on plucking hair from a dogs ears, it's so they dont get severe ear infections later in life. You try to talk about things like "I know what's best" when you literally bashed people for doing something they're supposed to for the health of the animal. if the vast majority of veterinarians recommend it and you're still saying it's bad, maybe you shouldnt have dogs if you're going directly against what a vet, who knows, for what's good for the animal

Cruel? If done properly it is NOT cruel. Ear hair should be at the very least be thinned out. Bacteria is already in there. Not all dogs that have ears plucked get ear infections. Your experience is not definitive.

its not just their experience. Its veterinary research. Ear hair is more often then not unnecessary. Ear hair- just like with humans- protect from bacteria and infections. And some breed are more proned to infections if their ear hairs are removed. Shaving down ear hairs using a 10blade is the healthier route as it keeps them from getting matter, but keeps the canal protected.

and no bacteria is not "already in there" not in the way you think. Yes all creatures have bacteria coming and going in our bodies. Which is why cleaning you dogs ears every 3-4 weeks is recommended. Having ear hair allows the majority of bacteria to be trapped at the tip of the hairs, with someone ear cleaning solutions and a cotton swab that bacteria is killed. With plucked ears- bacteria gets right down in the canal and do infect lead directly to ear infections and other health issues.

Notice I didn't say leave the hair. I am simply stating a very clinically true premise which is trim the hair; don't remove by plucking/pulling...plucking/pulling IS cruel because it HURTS. So even if all dogs don't get infections, why risk the possibility? Bacteria is in the canal...and on your finger tips and in your nose and on your feet and in your nails...but why risk infection through a painful and forceful opening of the hair follicle which is then inflamed with histamine which changes the pH of the canal leading to the infection cycle? My experience is definitive enough for me to say stop the practice on any dog I bred.

6:45 *doesnt know you're actually supposed to pluck the hair from inside the ears so your dogs dont get severe ear infections* they literally do this for many breeds that have long hairs in the ear or in floppy eared dogs. shows shes not that reputable of a breeder and doesnt really know what shes talking about.

this comment literally shows that you havent done your research. Just because people do it often doesnt men it doesnt cause issues. The majority of show groom dogs have a lot of medical problems- ear infections being one of them.
