thanks for the advice Joanne I'll probably leave the eyebrows until I'm taught how to do them (a WFT breeder and groomer who lives closer than Archie's breeder has kindly offered to give me lessons )

I think I'll leave the eyelashes for now though, they are so long and sweet! My mum would probably cry if I cut them, she says he looks like a transvestite with false eyelashes!!

I know how your mum feels, I love Olive's long eyelashes, and leave them for ages until they really need cut. What I would do for lovely long eyelahes like that.

Oooh i'm wincing already . being nosey i wondered who had the bum hair. LOL glad its the dog!

Both my Boys get seriously alarmed whenever I approach their "south ends" with ANYTHING in my hand! Border Collies don't seem to like having their bums attacked with a wire brush! I'm just glad I've never had to use a Rectube on Snorri's epilepsy! The mind boggles!

Snorri

I couldn't agree more

had to have a peek the title got me too.......lol
well i dont have that problem as mine are ment to be long.
i am glad i don't need to cut etc it takes long enough allready.
things we do for the dogs..................................lol

Hi Tuti stripping a WFT and a Schnauzer is very similar technique and I can PM you a link to a Schnauzer site that explains how to both Strip and Roll a coat. this is a WFT grooming site
For the bit around the bum I use a pair of Hauptner hand shears, they are not electric, make no noise and are easy to use, you just keep them flat on the skin and trim against the grain. I have one pair that has been in use for 30 years. I use them of ears,the head and chest and bottom. this is what they look like ...






the ones in the middle they cost £30 and I can tell you a supplier if you want.

OMG they look like instruments of torture lol

lol ...don't worry Lel no one will be getting near you with a pair

just had to have a look when I saw the thread title, I thought you were gonna ask does it get tangled up if you wear a thong .....................
