How to spend your day off.

Our Schnauzers do need to be groomed regularly and they truly are transformed after a visit to the groomer. Share your before & after Schnauzer grooming photos here.

How to spend your day off.

Post by tombaker »

So I've not been at work this week, so I spent the whole of Friday grooming the dogs.

Obi has an Open show on Saturday (today) which I'd forgotten about so he's not looking as sharp as he could! Fingers crossed though! The annoying thing about having a dog in a rolled stripped coat and clipping every 4 weeks is that you never have any decent before and after pics!

So here's the after =))

Then I decided to shorten his skirt..(I don't think Obi was too impressed)

Nope Obi doesnt look too impressed in that second pic... In fact I would say he is bordering on livid! :)) best of luck today with him. Louis is too cute....I think you should tuck him in a rucksack and bring him to crufts so I can steal him :)) :D

Hope Obi does well today, he looks so dapper & livid! Your Louis holds his form so naturally, I'm sure he'll cut a swathe thru the opposition when he enters the ring!

Thanks everybody. Obi got VHC (5th) in the breed class and 1st in Handled by a gentleman. He was so well behaved and walked properly (which is a first).

I also handled another mini in a special open class and came away with 4th out of 12 dogs. Well done Sam :D
