Toby

[barknpurr]

Here is one of my favorite mixed breed clients. Toby is a CockerxPoo. He used to be a demon, but dad learned a ton from watching Ceasar and Toby has too! I am thinking of using him for competition. I still have to manage his head better. He has a wonderful coat!

Thanks all! I am still trying to imagine a different, more under control head... Any ideas?

Lovely coat

and lovely groom. Looks like great scissoring.

I don't feel inclined to suggest at all, but since you were asking, I'll just share what I would have done differently.

I do the heads a bit differently, scissoring the side of the "mustache" area shorter and the cheek area shorter. I would perhaps also cut a bit around the eyes above, but it does look fine. I personally like eyes well seen. Top of head looks perfect. Oh and almost always I scissor off the front of the muzzle to rid the pooch of the red/dark stains.

Pretty dog! If you want to keep the same cut Arrooh had some good ideas, that's what I do too. But, if you want to change the cut. How about a European cut? That's my favorite.

Hes so pretty you could go w/ a poodle cut or bichon..

the top knot looks good nice balence ect as for appearing more undercontrol I would tighten the area from the ear to the eye corner then use thinning shears to bring down the bulk of his mussle and blend ..he does appear to have a great coat to work with .other than that and you asked lol.good job.its soo nice to see real groomers for a change.keep up the good work

Bubblesaway, my thoughts exactly about the ears. Are they growing out from being shaved? Are the ears really that big or is there a lot of hair?
Tasseling the ears might be kinda cute...Beautiful groom otherwise!

first of all beautiful groom! i think i would try a porti type head, clip the ears, maybe with a 4, then let the beard and cheek area grow a bit longer to disguise the large ears. or you could grow the ears and do a poodle clip, maybe with a mustache and goatee. take pics and let us know what you decide
