I have a customer with a little Bischon ShiTzu - Roxy - she is a year old and was rescued by my customer - she's had her for 8 mos. Well, she had NEVER been groomed when she first came to me at about 4 mos. I had to shave her down on the first groom because she was extremely matted. They put her on maintenance - she comes every 5 weeks... As her coat grew back, the owner decided she didn't want her clipped AT ALL. Well, her coat is really fluffy, cotton candy and matts if you look at it. I've been trying to keep her in a clip that the customer likes and that takes me less than 2 hrs!! Last time, I did a kinda of modified teddy bear.. 0 snap on down her back in into her legs and sides just to get the bulk out.. the customers seems ok with this but it still takes me at least 1.5 hrs. I end up hand scissoring her legs, chest and blending in the sides with thinners..
Do you guys have any suggestions on what else to do with this little girl, to cut down time, and make her appear longer.. The customer says that because she is so "scrawny" she wants the coat to make her appear fuller!
It started out she just wanted her bathed and thats it as she grew, but I had to explain to her... she needs some clipping.. her coat is so fluffy, the longer it grows - it just fluffs straight up from her back and is always so full of little pin matts... I just felt bad tugging at her all the time (frustrating too!)
????? Any suggestions
