As mentioned in another thread, Peggy had an awful grooming experience and I'd like to maintain her at home now for as long as possible.
What's the best brush for daily maintenance of a short coat? I've got a couple of different slickers and combs for her longer tail and topknot, but her body was clipped (I think) with a 7 blade. And not very evenly. I can actually see skin in some spots.
Would I use the canine equivalent of a horse's rubber curry comb? Soft bristles? Pin brush?
And is there a book I could refer to for this sort of thing? Like a definitive guide to grooming poodles for the home groomer?
I generally do better with books than with YouTube videos (although YouTube videos are great for watching a technique in action once I've absorbed the basics).
Thanks, poodle friends!
