Finally, I was able to give one of my studs, Phineas T. Barnum a grooming! We had been trying to figure out a good time frame for quite some time.
What a delightful young man this boy is! So compliant and a perfect groomer's candidate. No brush biting, whining, or obnoxious behavior. I would like to profusely thank his guardian mom, Cathy, for an amazing job of keeping Phin's coat mat free for the very difficult time of the coat changeover, - it is quite a challenging task but Phin never had to be shaved to the skin because of her diligence.
Phin has a very thick coat and should always be kept short to look his very best. Although I cut his body very short, I did this so that by Christmas he will look just about perfect enough to hang on the tree... (well, cute enough to sit in front of it, anyway).
I love Phin's big head and large fleshy nose. He has a wonderful ear set and his ear leather is not thick - a very nice trait to have.
Thank you Phin, for being just wonderful! (Cathy, too!).
Oh man, look at that tail!! That's a flagship dog, for sure. He's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly. He is so willing to please - a WONDERFUL personality. He is going to produce some fabulously tempered puppies along with great boning and heads. :+)
