:yahoo

it was so exciting! :yes

and very scary! :scared

i did the whole clean shaven face and feet
shaved down the body, bathed it, then scissored everything up! including the topknot! (which is the hard part :lol) it was my first poodle ever! and although it didn't go out looking great, because obviously it was my first, it went out looking pretty damn decent!

I use to be a dog groomer, Poodles where my fav.

thats awesome girl now on a side note-where are those house pix???:lol:dunno

good job kari :)

did you go to school for dog grooming?

Well I wished one of you two lived in Germany by me. My poor baby hasn't been groomed since we left the states back in April & she's a schnauzer. I don't have my drivers lic over here! I am waiting on the state of Texas for that whole ordeal & dh never has time to take her because the closest groomer is 30 minutes away!!! I have worked for a vet for the past 7 years so I know the basics & tried my self but she was abused before I adopted her & so she tries to bite me & the clipper's. I know that groomers know how to handle these kind of dogs better than I do. I know my groomer back home had a time with her. SHE'S BAD!!!! I do keep the poopy path trimmed & the hair out of her eyes & ears trimmed. She doesn't look that bad because I do scissor cut her some but I can't do it the way she is supposed to be done!!!!
