What is everyone's best solutions for making the front legs of a Maltese look less than choppy?
I did a one year old Maltese today that has never been groomed and did a 3F and I couldn't get the front legs to look nice to save my life very stick outy crazy wispy everywhere and the dog wouldn't stand up or stop crunching up and pulling on the legs to save her life. I was going to just scissor them but they wanted them way shorter like the body and it was too much for this dog..
The body and back legs came out nicely but the front reminded me of either a really wispy haired schnauzer or the feathers on the back of a springer spaniels legs that just wants to stick straight out. I tried blenders, thinners and my new oster chunkers that are supposed to help with this type of hair but nothing was helping.
I told them we would try to get the front legs nicer the next time and they said oh you dont like em that way they look cute. The dog had enough for today.
they were pleased but it drove me nuts. since it was a housecall I didn't have any haunch type holder for my grooming arm. I might have to try and hook something up for that purpose
