Airedale, head study

[Helly]

Same Airehead...I mean Airedale. Close ups of his head. Still couldn't get his ears up. He does have two, honest.

His head is just wonderful.

The Airedale that I groom (try) won't let me do that much on her head. I guess it is good that her owner likes her to be bushy, unkept looking. I would show her these pics but then she may change her mind and want her dog to look as good as the one you do! lol

His ears are a little scruffy around the edges. We were having a cold snap, and I left them a little longer because he spends a lot of time outside. Don't want to risk frostbite, lol.

Helly, I will forever have an imprint of an airedale head in my mind from your posts. I now understand how it should look. Let's see if I can do it...when Ike comes back in 5 months.

Do his brows go right into his "facial hair"? I know you clean out the stop, but it looks like his muzzle starts right up under his eyes. Do you clean out under his eyes at all?

Nevermind, I just read your post in the other thread. Thanks.

Good pic. Helly, nice head. That is how I like to do airheads too. lol
Spikey I know what you mean about imprinting an image in your head. I watched the Bichon video over and over so I could burn the image of a good bichon groom in my head. I think it was an Oster video but I don't remember. The kennel I worked for had a binder with versions of breed clips on each page like 2 open pages would have shih-tzu pics in all kinds of different clips from shaved to show style. I am working on making something like that. It was good to show clients then they could just point to pic. But it was also good for rarer breeds to get a true image of what a finished groom should look like for that breed.

Bump for Woofique.
