Thank you SO much Julie! I've been learning and showing a dog in this trim since Jan. 2022...constantly working to improve our trim (new groomer, handler) and you've answered so many questions here! Hardest part for me is shaping the bottom of the jacket into the neck (getting rid of the hump...I'm afraid to try the curved scissors upside down ) and even harder, the neck into the shoulder and up under the ear to the mane. You've given some great pointer (a long time groomer told me about your video!). It's a work in progress. So grateful for this video!!
OMG,you just answered my question about why I keep cutting Zen, when I was using my Wahl. I've used Oster for years and never had the issue of cutting my dogs, so I'll change the blade setting from now on. Thank you
Watched Noodles the poodle trim, wondered if you ever do a clip with the topknot and chest of Noodles but put puppy pants on instead of clipping the body with the rosettes? Interested in doing something like this. I show in obedience and rally and like the puppy pants idea but do not want do do a spray up…I like the bubble idea in the topknot but want something that doesn’t need a lot of banding…it is the neck area u sure of what to do…I currently use your video for the modern trim on my dog but will be getting a new puppy and like to put him in puppypants
Stunning work !! I have watched your videos for years ! What length of Zolitta scissor did you use for the rosettes ? Are they the 7.5" extreme curved ?
What would you do differently when placing jacket and rosette lines for a dog who is slightly longer backed? My girl is 21.5×23". Also, can this trim be flattering for a slightly long standard? I have heard it is not recommended unless perfectly square with plenty of neck. Thoughts? Thank you for this video, it is very helpful 😊 ❤
I would move the jacket a little farther back and make the Roseettes a little more oblong. But yes, I do agree, this trim is not as flattering on a longer dog.
