Hi Mike I have a website that may help you and will PM the details to you.
The MS handbook has details on trimming and Peter Newman made a trimming video, info on these last two from the MSClub.

I want her to look like she does in this video.
She's a wee cutie, but i'm not too keen on the way her eyebrows and beard have been cut. Just my opinion though!

Maybe you could ask to watch her being groomed by the professional? I'm not sure whether or not they'll let you though.

Hi Mini,

I got your PM, and have book marked it. I'm gonna have a good read of it soon!

Westie, I can see your point on the eye brows, but I just LOVE her beard in that video. I asked if I could watch Bear being groomed by the pro that did her last time, but she said no.

I guess I could contact my breeder who gave me 2 lessons on grooming Minis last time, but last time I called her up on how to show me something, she wasn't too keen on the idea, and just gave me instructions over the phone. I think taking her to a pro once more after her hair has grown out a bit, and getting a video like Mini suggested would be quite a good idea.

That's absolutely fine, it's the owners preference.

However, I don't feel that you can really master a groom by just watching a DVD/video groom. Although you can get hints and tips on certain bits of it, I believe you need actual practical experience to get it absolutely right.

Good luck.
