Grooming a Bouvier des Flandres
with Jennifer Hecker, CMG
|
|
 Many of you have requested this grooming lesson. We are thrilled to bring you Beckett, a 14-month-old AKC Champion Bouvier des Flandres! This large and powerful breed has a coat that can be surprisingly maintenance-free. These dogs should not be overly trimmed and should appear very natural, rough-coated, and rugged.
In this lesson Jennifer guides you through a traditional hand-stripped Bouvier trim. She talks about the breed standard, what the breed was originally bred to do, what type of coat a Bouvier "should have" if the coat is correct, and where to set the pattern lines. Jen also talks about the tools needed to get the proper look for the breed.
This particular dog had been living with Jennifer for about six weeks prior to this film shoot. It's very evident that Jennifer has a newfound respect and appreciation for this breed. If you knew Jennifer's history with the Bouvier des Flandres breed, you'd really be impressed with this lesson and her attitude towards the dog. (Check out Melissa Verplank's blog this week for the full story!)
Approximate total running time: 60 minutes
Session A: Overview & Clipper Work
Session B: Stripping the Body
Session C: Feet & Legs
Session D: Finishing the Head & Final Details
In this video you will learn:
- how this coat is different than that of a hand-stripped Terrier.
- which tools to use to get the correct look for the breed.
- how to set the pattern.
- how to think in terms of a "reverse poodle head."
- why it's okay to jump around a bit when working on this breed.

Grooming the Springer Spaniel
|
|
|
In the perfect world, all Springers would be hand-stripped. However, this is not a reality for professional pet groomers. We clipper cut many breeds that should be hand-stripped. In this session, Misty Fowler guides you through clippering a Springer. She'll show you how you get a natural look that emphasizes the breed standard. Typical pet grooming techniques using clippers, thinning shears, shears, and simple carding methods are used. She also highlights some tips for eliminating common problems such as pattern setting, minimizing corduroy tracks, and blending.
Estimated Run Time:
60 minutes
