Sapphires Journey
Re: Sapphires Journey
I'm going to snap away at the Essex walk - I can't WAIT to have so many Schnauzers in one place!
Re: Sapphires Journey
so its getting so close now to sapphire's first show on sunday! the other week i looked at her coat and the her back looked much longer than her sides so decided to strip that thinking there should be a coat coming through but nope! so fortunataely i stopped when i realised there was just a strip of undercoat with a few wire hairs and we have been carding like mad to get rid of the fluffy stuff and get that hrd top coat through, her sides are just a nice length now. Sapphire is off to Linda's on Thursday for beautifying and i shall get my instructions for preparing sapphire on the morning of the show-I have never had to prep a p/s so will be avidly scribbling down instructions. I wish i listened more to the relevant points on p/s trimming at the seminar in march now!

Re: Sapphires Journey
I do remember one bit if it helps - follow the lines between white and P&S!!
OOOh, looking forward to meeting her on Saturday. I'll be picking for more Linda-tips after your session!

Re: Sapphires Journey
Good luck to you and beth on Sunday - are you both in the same group? (sorry don't know the correct terms!)
Re: Sapphires Journey
Ooo, please share your wisdom! Maisy is also due to the Goomers on Thursday too, I can't WAIT! Booked the day off work to bath and dry her first, but not her jacket, only the fluffy bits.
Maisy is in PB, I think Sapphire is in MPB? Is that right?
Good luck Sapphire in her first show!

Re: Sapphires Journey
Dannie...any idea of the show times on Sunday? I can't see any times on the website.
Its just that Brockenhurst is less than half an hour away from me but we have a bloomin christening to go to in the afternoon unfortunately. I would love to go and see all the minis!

Re: Sapphires Journey
No sapphire and Maisy are in seperate classes as maisy is just a little too old for Minor puppy class.
@ Elaine and Beth, yes i'll be making notes so you can have a copy if its useful!
@Jo b, mini schnauzers are first in the ring starting at 9am, dogs first then bitches afterwards, I would imagine we'd be finished by 11ish.

Beth is your groomer not bathing maisy? i would think she would need to before she scissors her.Tulip wrote:Ooo, please share your wisdom! Maisy is also due to the Goomers on Thursday too, I can't WAIT! Booked the day off work to bath and dry her first, but not her jacket, only the fluffy bits.
Re: Sapphires Journey
She probably would if I asked her to, but I'd rather do it myself because my ma is waiting in the car outside and I wanted to cut down on the time it takes to blow dry her furnishings so she wouldn't have to wait too long. It takes me forever to do it!

Re: Sapphires Journey
I'm incredibly grateful to Dannie - I literally could not do this without her!
