Whys did I bother ?

Grooming is an important part of looking after your Schnauzer. Regular grooming will help keep your Schnauzer healthy and comfortable and you will spot potential problems early. Whether you decide to clip or strip your Schnauzer, help is on hand. Schnauzers are generally a non-shedding breed and will require a fair amount of grooming to get rid of dead hair.

Whys did I bother ?

Post by Dawnspell »

It was a lovely day yesterday so I thought I'd give Barney a long overdue bath on the patio to save tidying up inside. I thought we'd keep to clean paths this morning rather than the cliff paths which with heavy dews can end up with mucky dog. I like to keep him looking clean for a day at least :))
Barney saw a pheasant at the other side of a newly ploughed field :-o Yes, you guessed it no clean dog anymore =))

Fortunately there were a couple of horse troughs on the way back to the car so he got dumped in those, the nice clean towels I'd put in the car didn't last long. He still needed another wash though :D

I never knew that some schnauzers had furnishings that were darker than the rest of their coat :)

He said I've only got myself to blame. He never would have seen the pheasant if I hadn't trimmed his eyebrows extra short the night before =)) Can't argue with that kind of logic :D
