Grooming doggies

I dont usually do this but this was such a great before and after I wanted to share. He was A MESS and all matted. Sorry if it looks as if he is choking ,lol. He was a head hanger and I needed to get the pics for the owners anyway. He didnt seem to mind and it was only for a minute.

Great job Lori! I used to breed and show Welsh Terriers. A great breed and very fiesty. I had two finished champions. One lived to be 17 yrs old.

You did a great job. He is a very attractive welsh. I clipped my welshies when they retired from showing and now clip my minnie schnauzers. The carpal tunnel killed me when I stripped for show prep!
