Grooming Tips |
A cotton ball moistened with
eye drops can remove any
stains around the eyes.
Some owners desire the
whiskers to be clipped, but
you should first check with
the owner. Use scissors.
The finished appearance can
often be improved using a
final coat conditioner (the
type applied AFTER the
bath). Most of these
conditioners, used
sparingly, are lightly
rubbed onto the coat, and
then distributed with a
light, gentle brushing. Some
groomers then lightly rub
the conditioned areas with a
chamois cloth to produce
more gloss. The maintenance
interval grooming using a
natural bristle brush helps
to maintain a shiny coat. |

Grooming Tips for
Professionals |
| Careful. It's easy to
get water in the ears of
this breed when bathing. Use
cotton balls and caution to
prevent that from happening. |
