Cocker Mix

[GroomersGotStyle]

So here is my parent's cocker mix on all angles before & after. She's has the worst hair thanks to a great balanced diet of Kibbles N Bits along with quite a wavy texture. It's also like cotton. She's quite a challenge. Looking for some constructive criticism. Hoping to improve! Just please don't be too harsh

Also, do you think the cut fits her? I keep thinking about shaving her ears or shaving the skirt off. I have to leave the legs to some degree because she has tiny chicken legs! Lol!!

Name: Habit
Breed: Cocker Mix? We think?
Haircut: Sports Clip (straight skirt, ears and tail trimmed only a little)
Time spent: 30-45 minutes washing and drying, 2 1/2 hours grooming

She's such a beautiful dog. Very nice job, she looks great.

I think she looks great, I wouldn't mess with her skirt. One thing I would do is blend the skirt under her belly to make it look more natural ( is prop not correct, but I hate straight lines). I once I get it even, I blend with my thinners and curved shears.

Very nice groom.

I think she looks awesome. There is only so much you can do with some dogs, what ya gonna do glue hair, add extensions? She looks MARVELLOUS!

Nice job

Is that dog just about wide enough to be a walking coffee table?? Looks like it, lol, although I've seen many that are wider.

Very nice job.

Thank you guys so much! I tried my best.

Rudyroo - I couldn't decide whether or not to make the line at a diagonal and I'm bad at skirts to begin with so I figured, meh, why not make it straight! :P I'll definitely try to angle it next time.

caninecrazy - You just gave me a marvelous idea *devious smile* Extensions sound fun!!!

Debbiedogs - Ohhhh my lanta. I haven't laughed so hard in forever!!!! I told my mom and she grumbled. It was hysterical! She is in denial that the baby (Habit is the youngest) is fat, but my man and I both agree up and down on that topic!!!!

Opps, sorry, I didn't mean at an angle, I just mean I would feather it to make it look like a more natural line.

Oh, sorry! I misunderstood. :P I'll definitely try to do that next time.

And thank you, ICare. Cute username, btw.
