So I have a new client come in today with 2 "schnoodles." She walks in with the scriffiest poodle mixes I have ever seen! I would guess poodle/shih tzu mix and I'll bet the parents never even met a schnauzer!!! She proceded to say that her last groomer just couldn't clip them right and that she was giving me a try. Okaaaay. So, here were her requests:
1. I want the body to look shaggy, but 1/2 the length.
2. I want the legs square, not tight. (?)
3. I like the look of your poodles head, but I don't want their heads to look smooth. (??)
4. I want this one's face to look like a schnauzer, but with the head longer and no eyebrows.
5. I want this one's head to look like a scruffy teddy bear.
6. I really don't like the looks of poodles or schnauzers, so don't make them look like either (Sorry, I own 2 giant schnauzers and a standard poodle who stay in my salon with me!)
and with that, she looked at me expectantly. I did tell her that if I were to clip her dogs, they would not leave here uneven. If I clipper or scissor a dog, he will look smooth and even. That's what is supposed to happen when you shorten the coat. I was confused by "square legs" but assumed she meant longer on the legs. ANYWHOO, I ended up doing a modified german on both and leaving the ears natural. AND SHE LOVED IT! After she paid for the grooms and left a tip, she said, "And people tell me I don't explain things well. But you understand me!"
God help me!!!
