First Groom

[Terrlyn]

Oscar's first groom today! Must say I was pretty proud of him, and I haha. Couple spots I missed, but I'll get better with time :) He's currently 7 months.

How much did you cut off?
He's cute!

[Terrlyn]

Don't know why this didn't post with it! Cut probably an inch off, if not more, maybe 2. The clipper cut was about an inch.

[Leslie, Yogi & Maci Bear]

Very nice. What did you use for grooming, I'm hoping to groom yogi when the time comes, so curious what you used for it. Yogi's hair length looks like your before picture

[Terrlyn]

I used an Andis clipper, size 14mm clipper cover. I used a smaller one for around the feet, cause he seems to get grinch feet, and the snow gets caught easily. 

[Leslie, Yogi & Maci Bear]

So you buy the andis clipper as is, then buy the comb to determine the length?
I'm trying to sort this out in my mind.

Thanks

I don't know much about grooming terms so I'll try my best to explain haha. I got a clippers set for Christmas, in it came the clipper, a 10 blade, and a couple combs to go over top of the blade. I used the biggest comb it came with as I wanted a longer buzz. I bought some longer ones online too as I wanted a even longer cut.

Leslie, there is a great grooming group on here that will help teach you all you will need to feel confident to purchase good equipment and get started.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've read things here and there, but it still seems confusing to me.

Good job, cute guy!

Enzo is also 7 months. I'm still trying to gather up my nerve to do her first groom. Oscar looks adorable! Great job, Mom!
