Well... sort of...
Everybody, feel free to give me your constructive criticism.
I shortened the jacket quite a bit... is it too short? I shaved her bum with a #7F which is the shortest I've ever gone on Dana (apart from her FFT).
Doing her front legs was SCARY! :scared: The back legs, it's easy. You stop shaving a little bit before the hock and you're done. There are no landmarks on the front legs!!! Well, I guess there are but the elbow was hard to find. LOL... I went up a little too high on the left elbow. The right one is okay, I think.
Don't mind her neck, I shaved it 3 weeks ago, because her stupid collar was breaking all the hair and it was driving me nuts. I'm going to let it grow in.
I have a new respect for everyone who maintains a show trim. This was hard, and it doesn't even have half the hair of a real continental.
I don't even dare try the hip rosettes. LOL...
The vet I work with said Dana looked like a fruitcake and that I should be embarrassed to walk her out in public like that. I did this to him in my head : :thefinger:
This is the general opinion of people around here who like their poodles groomed like doodles (i.e.: ungroomed!).
Oh well. It's not my fault if they can't recognize beauty when they see it!
